PORTSMOUTH — Cure restaurant chef and owner Julie Cutting-Kelly was ready to go home after being eliminated on her episode of "Chopped: Martha Rules," which aired on April 20, but right after filming that episode in September, she received an unexpected call from the producers.
“I went back to my room and I was all excited to go home. I was packing up, ready to see my baby and the producer called and said, ‘Hang around.’ And I said, ‘What do you mean hang around?’ The next day I woke up kind of slow, went for a run and then that night they called me and said ‘Hang around. We’re going to bring you back.’ So I knew fairly soon after I got cut the first time that I was going to be brought back.”
