Last Monday, UC San Diego men’s baseball (21–12, 10–4 Big West) hosted San Diego State University Aztecs (13–18, 8–4 Mountain West) for the first match of a two-game series between these crosstown rivals. The Tritons entered Monday’s contest looking to sustain their strong play and build on their three-game winning streak after sweeping UC Davis.
Ron Funches is always up for a challenge.
This is why he’s a stand-up comedian.
When he was approached to host the series “Chopped 420,” he jumped at the chance.
......................
“I was a celebrity contestant on ‘Chopped’ and loved the experience,” Funches says. “I did get chopped in the first round. Years have went by, and I’ve gotten some of my skills up. They were looking for a host for the spinoff, and I was on the list. I couldn’t be happier.”
As in the original “Chopped,” chefs are pitted against one another in culinary competition.
“Chopped 420” breaks new ground with five stand-alone episodes featuring four budding cannabis chefs who are challenged to create tasty and mind-warping dishes through three rounds appetizer, entree and dessert – from a mystery basket of ingredients for a chance at winning the $10,000 grand prize.
Tune in April 20 for Food Network s first-ever cannabis edition of Chopped.
In one of the five episodes, Phoenix chef Derek Upton will compete against other cannabis chefs from across the country to make THC-infused meals for the chance to win $10,000.
Each hour-long episode features four chefs who duke it out in a three-round elimination challenge with mystery ingredients in each round. Each competitor will also scour the greenhouse for cannabis or CBD-infused ingredients to incorporate into their dishes.
Actor and comedian Ron Funches will host Chopped 420, appearing alongside a panel of judges that includes nationally acclaimed chefs Esther Choi and Luke Reyes, and drag performer and cannabis activist Laganja Estranja.
