We're incredibly proud to have been in business for two decades, and we owe so much of our success to amazing long-term employees like Jud.

Jud joined our team in 2012 as a bartender, showcasing his versatility at events both large and small with exceptional skill and flair. His journey continued as he stepped into a leadership role as a lead bartender, eventually co-founding Juntos, our multi-departmental collective focused on DEI initiatives.

We’re lucky to have Jud on our team! His professionalism and friendly demeanor make him one of our standout long-term employees.
Thank you, Jud, for your dedication and hard work! Here's to many more years together!

Did you know that approximately 40% of food is wasted at various stages of the supply chain? Reducing food waste is one of our top priorities in our sustainability mission at Chowgirls. This month, we’re participating in Hennepin Environment’s Stop Food Waste Challenge but we uphold this commitment throughout the year. Here are five ongoing initiatives at Chowgirls aimed at reducing food waste year-round.

Cheers to 20 years of Chowgirls! 🥂

Picture this: It’s April 2003, Amy’s just given birth to her first daughter. Her brother Nathan, a long-distance friend of Heidi’s, is in town for the occasion. Excited for the two to meet, he invites Heidi to Amy’s house the day she comes home from the hospital! Nathan was onto something — Amy and Heidi became fast friends through their shared passions for music, design, cooking, and entertaining.

A year later, they launched Chowgirls Killer Catering at a big party in a Northeast Minneapolis gallery — a party that would change the projection of their lives for the next 20 years!

Through the years, the name, the brand, and the locations have evolved as much as Heidi and Amy themselves! Follow us here to see how Chowgirls has grown from a force of 2 ambitious women to a 200-person, values-driven business.

Any way you want it, that's the way we'll pour! Chowgirls Cordial crafts homemade simple syrups and tinctures, then pairs them with local spirits to create our seasonal signature cocktails.

We keep it seasonal by using fresh fruits and herbs from the garden, giving our cocktails a refreshing edge and undeniable flavor.

Practice sustainability at home by making your own seasonal syrups: add fresh herbs, fruit, and spices, to equal parts white sugar and water. Simmer, chill, and mix in your beverages. Cheers! 🌿🍹
