July 31st is just a few days away, and Rochester, Minnesota's Chopped Local is the talk of the town. Doors at 4, event starts at 5, ends at 8, raising money for a good cause. it's awesome. Period.

Can you get tickets? Yes. Are there many left? No. Will I kick myself if I miss it? Yes and yes!

I could tell you all about every little detail, but you want to know the basics and then I hope you'll grab a ticket.

a) Master chef's are paired with local leaders.

ii) They cook a bunch of food.

3) We eat a bunch of food.

4) We raise money to throw love in the form of actual cash help to our Rochester restaurant community that's had a hard time of it thanks to Covid-19.

"Food will be provided, exclusive local merch pack, cash bar, as well as a few surprises. This event is limited to only 100 tickets. Tickets are purchased on a first come first serve basis. This event will be one you won’t want to miss, raising funds for a good cause."
