Nothing can stop Chowgirls when it’s party time!
Last weekend, a fire at a neighboring business brought first responders to block the driveway at Chowgirls HQ. 🔥🙀
Thankfully the fire only resulted in property damage AND our problem-solving team had the smarts to create another exit for a rental truck filled with food and equipment. We made it to all our events on time with rave reviews to boot. 🥳
Wonder what this weekend’s events will bring! 😵💫
Chowgirls Garnish Garden Update 4.27.2022
Co-Founder Heidi's getting a jump start on our Chowgirls garden at home with some happy-looking seedlings.
Soon they’ll be outdoors at our headquarters, providing garnish and ingredients for our summer and early fall events.
From edible flowers to tomatoes, our garden gets bigger and better every year and is one of many ways Chowgirls practices sustainability every day.
New wheels! We added a new pack truck to our fleet so we can haul around all the equipment — ovens, coolers, tables, chairs, tents, paella pans. Whatever you need to pull off your party, we can get it there.
We were honored to be part of Megan and Chris’s big day at @walkerartcenter this past Saturday! Check out this insanely gorgeous floral installation by @ergofloral 🌸💕
Paella is always a crowd-pleaser. For this Mediterranean-themed party, we used two 36-inch pans to make 150 servings of this Spanish rice dish. Chock full of mussels, shrimp, chicken, and chorizo, it’s layered with seasonings of saffron, paprika, red and black pepper, garlic, onion, and more.
Drawn by the magnetic aroma and the show of creating such an epic dish from scratch, guests gather in anticipation. And they’re rewarded with a hearty, adventurous meal that they’ll remember for years to come.
Do you like wine? How about cheese and charcuterie? You should check out our Virtual Wine Pairing Experience on Valentine’s Day. You don’t have to be partnered up to partake. Treat yourself! Or better yet, summon your inner Leslie Knope and round up your friends to join in and celebrate “Galentine’s Day.”
We’ve created a personal-size Cheese & Charcuterie box for singles to enjoy at our virtual pairing event while learning all about wines with wine expert Angie Heitz. We love that we have a chance to reimagine Valentine’s Day as a time to celebrate all kinds of love.
Reserve your spot soon! Registration closes at noon Wednesday, February 10. Visit mercantile.chowgirls.net or connect with a Chowgirls event specialist to start making your plans today. Chowgirls Mercantile link in bio. [email protected] • 612.203.0786

🍷Wonder what our Virtual Wine Pairing Experience is all about? Here’s a preview from Chowgirls co-founder Heidi Andermack and our wine expert Angie Heitz.🎬
THE EXPERIENCE
Join us for an unforgettable and unique Valentine’s Day celebration! We’ll be sipping wines selected by our friend and expert sommelier, Angie Heitz to pair with our Cheese & Charcuterie boxes, featuring delicious cured meats and small-batch cheeses from a few of our favorite local artisan makers including Shepherd’s Way Farm Big Woods Blue, Bent River Camembert, and Jeff’s Select Cave-aged Gouda, Red Table Meat’s “Chet” salami, Molinari coppa, and LaQuercia prosciutto. We’ve topped it off with our Southern Spiced Pecans, Rosemary, Lemon & Maple Cashews, Cherry-Rosemary Marmalade, House-Made Citrus Jam, Mushroom Pate, Bare Honey, flatbread crackers, dried fruit, and fresh herb garnish. Charmingly packed for in a Box for Two or, for those celebrating Galentine’s Day, in a “Treat Yourself” personal-size pack. Best of all, a portion of the sales from our virtual event will go to Minnesota Central Kitchen, helping to feed those in need here in the Twin Cities and elsewhere in the state.
