The episode, aptly titled “Midnight Snack Attack,” aired on March 18, and let’s just say, it was a late-night feast for the eyes!
A Culinary Journey
Chef Lambo isn’t just any chef; he has proven his mettle before, having previously taken on celebrity chef Bobby Flay and emerging victorious on the Food Network show “Beat Bobby Flay” in 2022 with his signature gumbo, which wowed the judges! His skills stem from years spent honing his craft at various South Boston eateries, including the likes of Lincoln, Capo, and Fat Baby before finally settling in at Hunter’s Kitchen & Bar in 2021.
Hanging out in South Boston and taking part in the local culinary scene, Chef Lambo has truly made a name for himself. His love for cooking traces back to his grandmother, whose kitchen inspired him to explore the world of flavors and spices.
Late-Night Cooking Fun
So, what did Chef Lambo face on “Chopped”? Well, the competition promised some fun yet challenging tasks. He was up against three other talented chefs, diving into the theme of the episode: creating mouthwatering dishes based on those pesky, late-night cravings we often experience. Those cravings can lead to culinary creativity, but they can also get a bit messy in a high-stakes environment like “Chopped.”
In the first round, Chef Lambo had to whip up an appetizer using ingredients that included carne asada tacos and instant ramen. Can you imagine the delicious combinations he concocted? The pressure was on, as he faced rounds requiring even hotter ingredients like spicy peppers and varied potato products. The dessert round was no picnic either, where risky moves could spell disaster for baking aficionados.

You could feel the anticipation in the air as supporters gathered to see their beloved chef in action, sharing laughs and anxiously awaiting the results of each round.
After a whirlwind of kitchen action, Chef Lambo managed to make it to the final two competitors. Although he didn’t take home the top prize, his journey in the competition was a testament to his skills, creativity, and determination.
A Taste of South Boston
Chef Lambo isn’t just a star in the competition scene; he’s also a foodie who loves to recommend local spots. For breakfast lovers, he suggests Milkweed, and for lunch, he drives taste buds to Fresh in South Boston and The Dirty Italian. When dinner time rolls in, he delights in dining at Cósmica in the South End and Trade downtown.
The road ahead looks bright for Chef Lambert Givens as he sets his sights on competing in future shows like “Guy’s Grocery Games.” One thing is for sure: the culinary world of South Boston will continue to keep an eye on this talented chef, as he skillfully mixes tradition with modern flair.
