"Being on 'Chopped' is a dream of mine," Givens said. "It is one of those things I have always wanted to do and grew up watching the Food Network, and being part of a food competition, so it's been really cool."

Givens competed on an episode called "Midnight Snack Attack." The battle was all about late-night cravings.

His Southie restaurant, known for its southern comfort food, hosted a watch party to cheer him on.

Chef Lambo, as he's known, made it to the final two for the last round, before he was chopped.

He said he's loved cooking from a young age, and credits his grandmother for helping him with his passion in the kitchen.
