The format of Alex vs America season 2

Viewers must know that the show's format is designed unbiasedly, which favors no one, not even Alex. Moreover, the three chefs challenging the Chopped judge have different backgrounds and cooking styles. They have mastered certain forms of cooking, according to which they will challenge Alex.

Hosted by renowned chef Eric Adjepong, each episode of the culinary show will film Alex going against three chefs in two different rounds. They will receive the challenge details from the host, who will explain things such as the dish's key ingredients, the theme of the challenge, and the time allotted.

However, in the initial rounds, the challenger chefs can work together on dishes, choose the ingredients, and decide the time. After every round, the judges will have to blind taste the dishes to determine the winner of the round.

As the competition proceeds, the winner of every round will get to choose all the variables for the second culinary challenge. Subsequently, unsuccessful chefs will be sent home, including chef Alex.

Moreover, the dishes that Alex and the challengers will be asked to cook include French cuisine, dessert, vegetarian, and modernist cuisine.
