Brad Smith takes the helm as host for the third season of the wildly popular series, with production underway on 31 episodes jammed with new twists and supreme specials, including a Chopped Canada Teen Tournament, a food truck showdown, and the return of past season favourites aiming to redeem themselves in the kitchen arena. The third season of Chopped Canada will join the Food Network schedule later this year. A seasoned CFL veteran, Smith made his move to television as the Bachelor for the opening season of The Bachelor Canada in 2012. After the show, Smith became an entertainment reporter, interviewing celebrities and keeping his finger on the fast pulse of Hollywood for viewers. Smith brings a loyal fan base to Chopped Canada with his larger-than-life personality, infectious smile, and a personal penchant for food. “I’m beyond thrilled to be joining Chopped Canada and to work alongside such an esteemed roster of celebrity chefs,” said Smith. “I’m an avid viewer of Food Network and I’m excited to take my career to new heights on the network’s #1 series. I’m competitive by nature and I can’t wait to see what these chefs will cook up to compete, while tackling challenges along the way.” Joining the judges’ table for season three is celebrity chef, author, and television personality Mark McEwan. Long considered one of Canada’s most respected chefs and restaurateurs, McEwan is no stranger to competitive culinary television, having been the Head Judge on Food Network’s Top Chef Canada for four seasons. He and returning Chopped Canada judges Lynn Crawford, John Higgins, Antonio Park, Anne Yarymowich, Eden Grinshpan, Massimo Capra, Michael Smith, Susur Lee, and Roger Mooking will judge 120 competitors from every corner of Canada. Each episode of Chopped Canada pits four chefs against the clock – and each other – for a chance to win $10,000. Cooking off in head-to-head challenges before a rotating panel of expert judges, the competitors put their skill and ingenuity to the test in an attempt to turn baskets of mystery ingredients into an extraordinary, three-course meal within a limited amount of time. Course by course, the judges chop the chefs from the competition until only one remains. Chopped Canada Season 3 will launch later this year. Episodes of Chopped Canada currently air on Saturdays at 9pm ET/PT exclusively on Food Network Canada.

  • Chef Roger Mooking Dishes on Work, Life, and What Gets Him All Fired up by Signe Langford
    Fire in the Belly Chef Roger Mooking Dishes on Work, Life, and What Gets Him All Fired Up By Signe Langford he creative mind is easily bored. A true entrepreneur nev- er sits still, is never satisfied with good enough, and never, ever, rests on their laurels. To pigeonhole Roger Mooking as a chef is to tell only a fraction of the story. A true Re- Tnaissance man, he has many irons in the fire, and many roles to play, and that suits him just fine. “I’ve always based my career around being an entertainer working in music or food. Cooking – being a chef – is just one of the tools in my kit; I’m an entertainer first.” He knew at the tender age of three he wanted to be a chef, and he’s been busy working to achieve this goal – non-stop – since his teens. Cooking has always been there – his family has always been in the hospitality business – and so has music. Remember Bass Is Base? That was Mooking’s – or rather, MC Mystic’s – 1990’s, Juno award-winning funk trio. (Do yourself a favour, hit YouTube for a ride down Memory Lane in the Funkmobile. – MM) Emigrating from tropical Trinidad to often icy Edmonton is a major transition – Mooking came to Canada at the age of five – but rolling with life’s ups and downs is just one of Mooking’s win- ning personality traits. Determination is another. Mooking recalls, “I started working in a restaurant at 15 to earn money for time in the recording studio.
