I'd love to see someone from the F&DB on the show! How about you, Btr?

Degas always did well on our Chopped challenges.

I was thinking the same thing. C'mon, Degas, audition!

I knew someone who was on chopped and said it was an incredible experience. He mentioned that contrary to how the editing makes the judges look mean with piercing glares, he said that the judges couldn't have been nicer. He also mentioned that there was about an hour in between each course and that the judges really took a lot of time to deliberate, contrary to the quick chats that are shown on TV.
I'm not sure if I could handle the time constraint. I entered an Iron Chef competition once (and won), and they gave us two hours which seemed to go by in a heartbeat. I can only imagine how fast 20 minutes goes by.
Besides, 20 minutes isn't long enough to sous vide anything.

Also, I'm not a professional Chef, nor do I fit under any of the special categories. Looks like I couldn't apply anyway.

I've always wanted to do one of these competition shows especially iron chef. I would just tmneed the secret ingredient to be shrimp or crawfish,

Be sure to have a good sob story. They love that.

If you're not a Chef, these are the "special" categories
Tailgaters, sure I am, aren't we all?
Grillmasters...not sure if I'd consider myself a master.
College undergrads, twins, newlyweds, farmers, butchers, diner cooks, educators, religious leaders, Dad...a whole lot of nope here.
I do have "unusual and interesting culinary stories", but I'm not sure if anyone who watches the Food Network is interested in hearing why it's not a good idea to deep fry in the nude.
Maybe Master Chef is more my style, but I'd surely be eliminated in any baking round.
I really do miss our chopped challenges here on the board though. It's Funbunch's show, but maybe we should start it up again. I'd be down for it.

I think you're wrong. I bet they'd LOVE to hear your story about frying in the nude.

How long do they allow them to plan a dish once they are told the ingredients?

I don't know for sure, but I think it's Ted Allen saying, "your time starts now".
I think that Iron Chef contestants have some time to contemplate the secret ingredient and know about it in advance. The sweat dripping down the Chopped challenger's foreheads is very real.
With my Iron Chef competition, I brought a whole bunch of stuff thinking for sure it would be a seafood oriented ingredient here in LA. The main ingredient had hooves.
