Chef Megan Kulpa-Fells, co-owner and executive chef of the The Artist’s Palate Wine Bar-Bistro in Poughkeepsie, will compete on the Food Network's TV show, "Chopped."
She'll appear in a segment that tapes this spring, which will air at a later date.
Hosted by celebrity food critic Ted Allen, "Chopped" pits four up-and-coming chefs in competition where they take basic ingredients and transform them into a three-course meal. A panel of culinary judges taste each course and the least successful chef is “chopped” after each course. The last chef standing receives $10,000.

They should give the chefs the same respect they give the chefs on Iron Chef America. If they are going to appear on your show then they should be allowed to wear their normal uniform with the name of their restaurant on it.

It's just another thing they copied from "Top Chef," for they have to wear "Top Chef" jackets instead of the one from their work.
