We’re turning up the heat this week with Chef Peter McQuaid—three-time Chopped Champion, “Spin It to Win It” Grand Champion, Beat Bobby Flay alum, Battle of the Decades finalist, and James Beard Award winner.

He’s cooked at Eleven Madison Park, Sanctuary, Cala, and now leads the kitchen as Executive Chef at The Americano—but can he handle us for an hour?

We dig into everything from how he caught the culinary bug to what really happens behind the scenes of “Chopped.” Then things heat up when we hit him with our signature chaos—drinking games, petty hills, and way-too-personal questions that have nothing to do with food. 

Tune in for laughs, secrets, and a side of spice as we stir the pot with our homie, Chef Peter McQuaid.
