PUBLISHED NOV 7, 2019

Cooking competitions can be high-tension but fun and exciting at the same time. But it’s double the entertainment to see children trying their hands at some of the most unique and innovative recipes, which many adults and professional chefs wouldn’t do. Food Network’s popular cooking reality show, ‘Chopped Junior’ will bring you six episodes with a competitive cooking environment, and some very interesting recipes.

Release date:

Season 9 of ‘Chopped Junior’ will premiere on November 12, 2019, only on Food Network at 8 pm ET.

Plot:

The child-friendly show is a derivation of the channel’s popular predecessor, ‘Chopped’, which started in 2007. ‘Chopped Junior’ involves only little chefs creating unique recipes and improvising on classic dishes, and competing against each other, while they make the most of mystery ingredients.

Cast:

Every season of ‘Chopped Junior’ sees a new set of contestants vying for the big prize. However, the show host, Ted Allen, has been a constant element all through ‘Chopped’ and ‘Chopped Junior.'
