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.

"American Ninja Warrior" co-hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila return to provide play-by-play commentary, along with a new co-host, gold-winning Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez. Joining them will be all-star ninjas, including Drew Drechsel, Meagan Martin, Najee Richardson, Barclay Stockett, Kevin Bull, and Natalie Duran, who will act as mentors for all of the junior ninjas.

Aspiring chefs compete for their shot at culinary stardom.

Two teams -- one orange, one green -- each with two kids compete in challenges that test their skill, speed and sounds. Each team is given a mindless task in which the ultimate goal is to refrain from making too much noise. The progress of their noisemaking is recorded on the Noise-O-Meter, and they are awarded points based on this. If the Noise-O-Meter reaches the top, the challenge is deemed a forfeit and no points are awarded. There are three rounds, each having a different challenge in which both teams take a turn at performing the exact same task. Rounds one and two see individuals facing each other, while the third round is team based. The team with the most points at the end gets a chance at winning five prizes plus a $5,000 cash prize.
