Hosted by Ted Allen and featuring judges including Gabe Bertaccini, Maneet Chauhan and Marcus Samuelsson, the eight-episode series will value a chef’s survival skills as much as their culinary prowess. “Battling the elements across two grueling cooking rounds each week, competitors must build a working kitchen from basic supplies, earn their signature Chopped ingredient baskets through intense physical challenges, and cook entirely over open fire,” reads Food Network’s description. Chopped Castaways premieres May 12.
