Chopped with Evan Hennessey at Dover Public Library

posted on: 1/13/2021

On Monday, Feb. 1 at 6:30 p.m., the Dover Public Library is hosting a very special virtual presentation by Evan Hennessey, winner of the popular Food Network program "Chopped". Hennessey is a three-time champion of the cooking competition show where four chefs must create a three-course meal using the random mystery ingredients provided. Evan, Chef/Owner of Stages in Dover (https://www.stages-dining.com/), will talk about his experience on Chopped as well as demonstrate a live Chopped challenge from his restaurant. We will be asking you to vote on mystery ingredients that Evan will use to create an appetizer.

Are you inspired to try Chopped yourself? The Library is sponsoring our own Chopped competition. Compete in one of three categories: Adult, Teen, or Family. What can you create in 60 minutes using the four ingredients in the mystery basket as well as items in your pantry and fridge?

Prizes will be awarded in each of the three categories for Creativity and Presentation. There will also be a random drawing for everyone who participates.

Mystery boxes will be available while supplies last in the Children's Room beginning on Tuesday, February 2 at 9:00 am. Photos of all entries must be received by Monday, February 8 at 9:00 am. As extra incentive to make an impressive dish, Chef Hennessey will be judging the Adult division.
