The secret ingredient is...
I am a Food Network addict and one of my favorite shows is "Iron Chef America." I love to watch the battles in Kitchen Stadium and see what magic the teams of chefs make from the secret ingredient.
Before you double check to see if you wandered into the food blog by mistake, there really is a pet point to my entry today. Foodies, the local purveyor of culinary instruction, will host its an Iron Chef-like competition on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 6 p.m. with its first "Chopping for Charity" event.
And all the proceeds will benefit the Roanoke Valley SPCA.
Local chefs Jason Pollard and Chris Martin will compete and Chef Steve Alls is hosting. Celebrity judges include my friend and colleague, food writer Lindsey Nair of the Fridge Magnet blog and Front Burner column here at The Roanoke Times.
Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased at Foodies' Web site. www.cookingmadefun.com
Lindsey gets all the fun. I'd complain if I were you Nona!!

Boy, they are using that word "celebrity" loosely, aren't they?

Hey folks: This event has been canceled. I will let you know if it is rescheduled.
