Discovery+ is already working to appeal to younger audiences by adding new marijuana-centric content to the streaming service. If you love Chopped on Food Network (I’m obsessed), you might also enjoy the new twist “Chopped 420” where 4 chefs must use mystery ingredient and WEED to make delicious meals for the judges. The chefs are competing to win $10,000 just like in the classic version of the show.
Comedian Ron Funches will host. Deadline says,
“judges include chefs Esther Choi, Luke Reyes and Sam Talbot; drag performer and cannabis activist Laganja Estranja, and comedian Tacarra Williams.”
So happy to finally announce that I’m now part of the #Chopped Family and will be hosting #Chopped420 on @discoveryplus 4/20 2021. 🔪 💨 https://t.co/7oUYgd1Suc
