Chopping for Charity
UPDATE: This event has been cancelled because not enough people bought tickets. Bummer.
On Tuesday, I will take part in a great event at Foodies in Roanoke County called "Chopping for Charity." All proceeds from the event will support the Roanoke Valley Komen Foundation for the cure for breast cancer.
In an Iron Chef-style battle of skills, chefs Josh Smith of Local Roots Cafe and Brian Murtaugh of the Roanoke Country Club will square off in the kitchen at Foodies using a secret ingredient to be announced that night. I'm a "celebrity judge," and the event emcee will be Chef Steve Alls from Kroger. Ticket holders will get to watch the excitement and enjoy hors d'oevres.
The event costs $40 per person, and tickets can be obtained by contacting Foodies at (540) 776-3693 or www.cookingmadefun.com by Monday, October 12. If your life has been touched by breast cancer in some way or if you just enjoy watching talented chefs practice their art, come on out. The first person who registers online and enters "Fridge Magnet" into the promotional code area will win a cookbook of their choice. Once I find out who that person is, I'll let them know what I've got in my goodie bag (I have a lot).
