Chefs face off in an exciting cooking competition on Chopped.
Boston’s executive chef Lambert Givens of Hunter’s Kitchen & Bar is competing on Food Network’s ‘Chopped’ in the eagerly awaited episode ‘Midnight Snack Attack.’ This culinary showdown, airing on March 18, features unique late-night snack-themed dishes as Givens faces off against three other talented chefs, testing their skills under pressure with intriguing ingredients. Fans can expect a combination of excitement, drama, and culinary creativity, with Givens aiming for victory and future aspirations in the culinary world.
Attention, food lovers and late-night snack enthusiasts! Get ready to whip up some excitement because Boston’s very own Lambert Givens, the executive chef at Hunter’s Kitchen & Bar, is about to make his mark on the culinary scene with his much-anticipated debut on the Food Network’s hit show, “Chopped”. Airing on Tuesday, March 18, this episode, aptly titled “Midnight Snack Attack”, promises to keep you on the edge of your seat with its midnight snack-themed cooking challenge!
In this thrilling episode, Givens faces off against three other talented chefs, all of whom are vying for the opportunity to create a series of delicious dishes inspired by those late-night cravings we all know too well. The excitement kicks off in the first round where participants will have to whip up unique takes on appetizers, entrées, and desserts with an array of intriguing ingredients. Just imagine creating a dish using carne asada tacos, pickles, salsa con queso, and even instant ramen! It’s going to be a wild ride!
But hold onto your forks because the challenge doesn’t end there. In the second round, chefs will encounter mandatory ingredients that are sure to spice things up — a very hot pepper and a beloved potato product that is sure to warm many hearts (and stomachs!).
As the competition progresses to the dessert round, things could get a little dicey. Mistakes are always a possibility when baking under pressure. With Givens’ previous experience winning a cooking competition against the legendary celebrity chef Bobby Flay, expectations are high. His signature gumbo, which is a much-loved staple at Hunter’s Kitchen & Bar, has already proven his culinary mettle, and here’s hoping his baking skills can shine just as brightly!
Givens has quite the impressive culinary journey behind him. Before becoming executive chef at Hunter’s in 2021, he manned the kitchens at several popular South Boston restaurants including Capo, Fat Baby, and Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant. Last August, his victory over Flay felt like a Super Bowl moment for Givens, solidifying him as a formidable chef in the competitive culinary landscape.
As he gears up for the “Chopped” showdown, Givens has dreams that stretch far beyond television. He aims to make Hunter’s the best destination for game-day dining in the city! Moreover, he has aspirations of opening his own restaurant one day. Can you imagine what culinary delights he might bring to the table?
Mark your calendars because “Chopped” will air at 8 p.m. on March 18! For those who miss it or want to relive the thrill, fear not — after the episode airs, fans can stream it on Max and Discovery+. The flavor-packed show is sure to be a must-watch for foodies everywhere!
The food adventures don’t stop with “Chopped.” Givens has his eyes set on future competitions, expressing interest in throwing his hat into “Guy’s Grocery Games.” Plus, he’s not ruling out a rematch against Bobby Flay — perhaps with a mac ‘n’ cheese dish that could dazzle the judges just as much as his gumbo did!
The world (and Boston) is watching as Givens takes on this new culinary challenge. Tune in for the drama, deliciousness, and perhaps some late-night recipe inspiration that only “Chopped” can serve up!
