Melissa Corey, a cook at Duckfat in Portland, won last night’s episode of “Chopped” and took home $10,000.

A cooking competition that airs on the Food Network, each episode of ‘Chopped” challenges four chefs to use mystery ingredients to create a three-course meal judged by a panel of experts. One chef is “chopped” from the competition after each course.
