Paducah's Chef Bradley wins TV title of "Chopped" Legend

UPDATE:
It's official: Chef Sara Bradley is a cooking legend.

Bradley, the owner of the Freight House restaurant, was judged to be the first ever Legend of the Food Network cooking show "Chopped."

On the final episode Tuesday, Bradley outdueled three other finalists by preparing an appetizer, an entree and a dessert that earned her the $50,000 grand prize.

The chefs were presented with baskets of exotic and oddly-matched ingredients including beef tongue, cotton candy cake, haggis and even pork blood ice cream. One chef was "chopped" after each of the three rounds.

Chef Bradley won $25,000 for herself, and $25,000 for her charity, Maiden Alley Cinema. After the competition, Sara then donated her half of the winnings to the other chef in the finals, who was competing to raise money for research of the bone disease afflicting his daughter.


ORIGINAL STORY:
Freight House owner and chef Sara Bradley will be featured again on Food Network on Tuesday night.

Bradley appears in the "Legends: Grand Finale" of the long-running cooking competition show "Chopped." The show will air at 7 p.m.

Chef Bradley will appear at Maiden Alley Cinema for her portion of the program. Tickets are free, but limited.

Last year, Bradley won the “Chopped: All American Showdown” and its $50,000 prize.
