Competition to become the host of a cooking show.

Aspiring chefs compete for their shot at culinary stardom.

American favorite "Chopped" heads north of the border to Canada with a familiar format and new host, actor and Toronto native Dean McDermott, perhaps best known as co-star of the "Tori & Dean" reality TV franchise. Each episode of "Chopped Canada" challenges four professional chefs to turn boxes of mystery ingredients into a three-course meal in a race against the clock. Each course serves as its own round in the competition, and the chef with the least-successful dish -- as determined by a panel of judges -- is eliminated after each round. The chef who comes out on top following the dessert round wins $10,000 and the title of "Chopped Canada" champion.

Home cooks are on the same level as professional chefs with years of industry experience -- at least in the judges' eyes -- in this culinary competition that conceals the contestants' identities until after a winner has been declared. Each episode features two rounds of challenges, which lead to a cash prize for the winner. The contestants are tasked with incorporating secret ingredients into classic meals, such as burgers and macaroni and cheese, with one contestant being eliminated following the first round. The three remaining cooks then face a new secret ingredient in the second round, which ultimately decides the winner. The judges assess the dishes based solely on presentation and taste, with the contestants' true occupations remaining unknown until after the final decision is made -- even host Geoffrey Zakarian doesn't know the true occupations of the contestants.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, reflecting and taking the time to give thanks to family and friends. Five chefs from around the country put their spin on this food lovers holiday. Each episode features two rounds. In the first round, they take a classic Thanksgiving side and reinvent it, with the winner getting an advantage in the second round. In round two, the chefs are asked to make an entire turkey dinner in just one hour, after which one will be eliminated. As the four remaining chefs move on, they use leftovers and work to turn sweet pies into a holiday side, with another one eliminated at the end. The three remaining chefs now move on to the finale. In the first round of the finale, one chef is eliminated -- and once two are left standing -- they must make a full Thanksgiving meal in three hours, with the winner walking away with $25,000.

Amateur chefs compete in a series of cooking challenges overseen by a panel of accomplished chefs to survive elimination and become a culinary master, earning the title MasterChef.
