5. Chopped After Hours

No reality show list would be complete without a cooking show that motivates you enough to be starving, but not actually so far as to cook. Offered for free on foodnetwork.com, “Chopped After Hours” is a non-competitive version of the popular show during which the judges attempt to tackle one of the baskets that the contestants were dealt earlier that day. Naturally the charming Ted Allen is there to present and to remind the chefs when their time is up.
