Say "I Do" to Cooking
It's wedding season! Instead of that waffle iron you eyed on your favorite couple's registry, give the gift of cooking. Our cooking classes are a fun experience that will create memories. Plus, the newlyweds will walk away with new kitchen skills that will last a lifetime. Now, that's a gift! Purchase a Gift Card for two Hands on Classes for the lucky couple.  Did you know The Chopping Block offers gift registries for any occasion? Perhaps yesterday's Supreme Court decision will inspire more couples to finally create their dream list for their special day. Give us a call to set up your appointment today!

Hosting a Holiday BBQ? Save on Accessories

Herb Grid
|
Our 20% Off Grilling Accessories Sale this month was such a success, we were wiped out of some of our inventory. But we are happy to announce we have recently re-upped our stock. That means you can find your favorite items like Knox Barbeque Rubs and the Herb Grid back on our shelves.
This cool grilling tool lets you infuse the flavors of fresh herbs into meat and vegetables. The herbs go inside the screen grid and the food cooks on top. Herbs won't fall through the grate as the heat from the fire of your grill releases their flavor. Genius!
