Host Eric Adjepong has some tricks up his sleeve when he invites three all-star Chopped judges and some of Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli's closest friends to the arena. James Beard Award winners Marcus Samuelsson and Scott Conant, along with Tournament of Champions winner Maneet Chauhan, enter the kitchen with a plan to take Alex down, using some of the most difficult ingredients yet. Antonia Lofaso and Jonathon Sawyer judge this historic battle and decide which of the exceptional chefs will go out in the first round. Will Alex be able to defend her name in lights, or will her trusted colleagues become her greatest enemies?
