Collingswood Chef To Appear Tonight On 'Chopped'

A Collingswood chef will compete tonight, Tuesday, Feb. 14, on the Food Network's show "Chopped."

The episode, which will feature Chef NonnaMarie Rieker of Pop Shop in Collingswood, airs at 10 p.m. and will repeat throughout the month, according to the Burlington County Times.

"Chopped" features a competition between four chefs who must prepare a three-course meal with only the ingredients provided to them. It airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. and is hosted by Ted Allen.

Here is a summary of the episode featuring Rieker, according to the Food Network:

Four modern diner chefs compete to transform the baskets into blue plate specials worthy of $10,000. In the appetizer round, the chefs must sling out dishes using some late night food and a classic three-ingredient sandwich. Then, the chefs get creative with a deep-fried snack in the entree round. Some diner staples in the dessert basket are tasty on their own, but can the final two chefs succeed in reinventing them?
