For chef Victor Aguilera, appearing on the 420 version of “Chopped” was partly a chance to redeem himself.
Out to avenge a loss on Food Network’s “Cutthroat Kitchen,” Aguilera, of Arepas en Bici in San Francisco, saw his chance with “Chopped 420.” The show which also features Oakland chef Solomon Johnson of The Bussdown as another contestant became both a chance to win it all on a competition show, but also an opportunity to address the stigma of marijuana consumption.
