Chopped (2009)

S9E12 Yakety Yak, Yak, Yak

The appetizer basket features sardines, rice cakes, and a quirky fruit, but the chefs might find that self-assurance is their most essential asset. During the entrée round, they must craft an impressive dish using yak and dried shrimp. As the dessert round approaches, the stakes rise with a $10,000 prize at stake and chamomile flowers in the mix. The chefs unleash their creativity, and the judges are touched by the significant personal development they observe in the finalists.
