Cooking this week

challenges yet: dehydration, fermentation, smoke and molecular gastronomy are all on the menu, and with that kind of money on the line, the “Chopped” judges expect nothing short of perfection.

Alton Brown knows food inside, outside and on sides that most people didn’t even know existed — and contestants in “Chopped: Alton’s Challenge” had better hope that they do, too. The tournament premieres Tuesday, Oct. 10, on Food Network.

Baby Driver

After stealing one of crime lord Doc’s (Spacey) cars, Baby (Elgort) is coerced into driving getaway vehicles for heists staged by the criminal mastermind as a means of paying off his debt. As a longtime sufferer of tinnitus, Baby blocks out the ringing by listening to music on his MP3 player, and he dreams of finishing off his debt and going straight with his new girlfriend, Debora (James). When Doc promises Baby that his next job will be his last, however, the getaway driver isn’t prepared for the violence that ensues.

Frank, a gambling addict, proposes that the Johansens open an underground casino in their basement to make some quick cash.
