Catch Sister Alicia of the Franciscans of the Eucharist on Food Network's Chopped Tonight!

Ready for something fun (and wholesome!) on TV?

Check out Food Network tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern to catch Sister Alicia of the Franciscans of the Eucharist competing on the popular Food Network show Chopped.

In preparation for Thanksgiving, Food Network’s Chopped brings together 4 competitors, each dedicated to cooking regularly in soup kitchens. The title of this episode? “Thanksgiving Soup-er Stars.”

Here’s Food Network’s show description:

All four chefs in this special Thanksgiving competition dedicate their time and talents to soup kitchens. In the first round, the chefs each come up with distinctive appetizer concepts in response to the typical Thanksgiving leftovers found in the baskets. Then in the entree round, the remaining chefs are surprised to see a theme emerging with the baskets. And an ice cream cake and a starchy candy are two of the perplexing items to be dealt with in the final round.

The judges of the episode are celebrity chefs Amanda Freitag, Marc Murphy, and Aarón Sánchez.

I can’t help but think back to Fr. Leo Patalinghug’s (of Grace Before Meals) appearance on Throwdown with Bobby Flay back in 2009.

Gonna watch? I’ll be tuning in… and cheering for Sr. Alicia!
