In honor of Father's Day, Tuesday's episode of Chopped featured four fathers competing for a chance at $10k and the title of Chopped Champion:
Herb Hand, Dad & Line Coach at Vanderbilt University
Ian-Max Henriquez, Stay at Home Dad

In the Appetizer Round, the dads had 20 minutes to create a meal using Salt & Vinegar Chips, Dover Sole Filets, Red Russian Kale, & Sour Cream.

Ian made Deep-Fried Sole with Kale Salad and Cornichon Remoulade
Richie made Potato Chip-Crusted Sole with Kale Salad
Keith made Salt and Vinegar Fish Cake with Spicy Remoulade
Chopped: Ian Max-Henriquez. The judges felt that his presentation was a little sloppy.

Keith made Pan Seared Indian Spiced Lamb T-Bone
Richie made Marinated Lamb Chop with Tamarind Rapini and Rice Pilaf
Herb made Pan Seared Lamb with Thai Peanut Sauce

The Dessert Round, challenged the dads with Chocolate Cigars, Rice Pudding, Pretzels, & Cocktail Nuts.
Richie made Mascarpone-Stuffed French Toast with Raspberries
Keith made Rice Pudding Crème Brulee with Chocolate Bark
Chopped: Richie Katzenburg. In the Entrée round, his sour cream was too thick and his Dessert lacked finesse.
