McLean High Student on 'Chopped Junior' Tuesday Night

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- Like father, like son? Kemp Guas, a student at McLean High School, will compete on the Food Network's "Chopped Junior" in an episode airing Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m.

Kemp is the son of local chef/owner David Guas of Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery in Arlington.

Each episode of Chopped Junior showcases the talents of children seeking to make unforgettable meals from mystery ingredients under a ticking clock. They'll bring their unbridled energy, big personalities and unstoppable originality, but only one can be the Chopped Junior Champion.

The usual "Chopped" judges are joined by celebrity guest judges to determine which kids advance after each round. The winning cook earns the same $10,000 prize that adults win on the main show. If things get a little too intense for the youngsters, host Ted Allen is there to comfort them and encourage them to keep going.
