Chopped is a cooking competition that airs on the Food Network. The premise is that your group must use a basket of mystery ingredients to create a main course entree. Your team will be given a basket of varied, unusual, and sometimes seemingly incompatible items from which you are to compose the dish. Your team may supplement the mystery ingredients with any items in the pantry or refrigerator, but they must use all the mystery ingredients in some way. Participants will be split into teams with all levels of cooking skill represented. Whether you are a Master Chef or a kitchen hack, this event is made for you. The dishes will be judged by a panel of three Holy Spirit mystery judges. The winners will receive the coveted GOLDEN CLEAVER. All participants will be able to try the entree’ creations. You will not leave hungry! Date: June 9, 2017. This deliciously creative evening is hosted by Maureen & Gary Engberg, Amy & Joel Nesset, Andrea & Nick Newton,  Michelle McNeill & Brian Galles, and Lisa Paschke & Scott Hackbarth. $100/seat now on sale at $75/seat, adults only please.
