What a cool idea!
We've had a huge amount of interest and excitement for "Moon River Ranch Chopped" so we've decided to give it a go! We decided to do this as a fundraiser for the farm during the off-season, AND because it sounds like a great time!!!
Step one is to find our competitors!!
Here's how it works:
1. At home challenge:
Next Monday, October 5th, we will send out a challenge utilizing a specific vegetable.
If you would like to enter for a chance to compete in our live event:
A. Complete the challenge at home! Have fun!
B. Post a picture and tag us with the hashtag on either Instagram or Facebook. You can also send your picture to [email protected]!
You have 1 week to complete the challenge!
On Monday, October 12th, we will send out a second at-home challenge for those who missed the first challenge or those who want another chance to compete!
2. 4 Winners will be picked from the at-home challenges.
3. The 4 winners from the at-home challenges will be compete in an in-person, live event on October 30th in Philipsburg.
Here's the outline for the competition so you know what you're getting into!
Just liked in the show Chopped, contestants will have 30 minutes to prepare a dish, using 4 different mystery ingredients as well as anything from our pantry, for 3 different rounds. . Round 1, will be an appetizer, Round 2, will be main dish and Round 3 will be dessert! One contestant will be "chopped" after each round. . Only one will be crowned the champion!
We're so excited to do this event! If you are able to lend any cooking utensils or appliances, or have any leads on cheap electric stoves, let us know!
Tickets for this event will go on sale next week. Tickets will include one free drink and a snack, and we plan on having a cash bar for the evening.
Want to be able to taste the dishes? Spend a little more for our VIP section! Sit up front, taste the creations, and maybe have a say in who wins!! Definitely worth the upgrade!
