Reception

Joel Keller writing for Decider said the series was "more serious than we expected."^[8]

Megan Reynolds at Jezebel said that "the weed connection is just a gimmick, and the contestants are still racing against the clock to complete a dish" as with the original Chopped.^[9]

Common Sense Media said "The contestants are very skilled and accomplished chefs, and they find creative ways to use strange ingredients, but these tend to be overshadowed by the series' narrow focus on cannabis."^[10]
