PORTLAND — James Beard award-winning chef Rob Evans of Hugo’s restaurant in Portland will compete on the Food Network show “Chopped” Tuesday at 10 p.m.
Evans taped the episode in April.
Melissa Corry, a cook at Hugo’s, also taped an episode, but that show has not yet been scheduled to air.
“Chopped” is a cooking competition in which four chefs use ingredients in “mystery baskets” to create a three-course meal that is judged by a panel of three experts. After each course, one of the chefs is “chopped” from the competition until only the winner remains.
Lee Farrington, chef/owner of the Portland restaurant Figa, taped an episode of “Chopped” in June. She said the network told her that it might not air until January or February.
