Elevate Your Dining Experience with a Chopped Champion

Subsidizing Subscriptions for Students and Those in Need

Defector's Tip Jar serves a dual purpose – not only does it help sustain the publication's financial freedom, but it also subsidizes subscriptions for students and individuals facing financial challenges. By contributing a minimum of $20, you'll not only be entered into the raffle to have Drew Magary cook for you, but you'll also be supporting Defector's mission to make their content accessible to a wider audience. As the publication notes, "Everyone who contributes can take heart in knowing that they are helping expose the youth of America to good blogs."

A Culinary Adventure Awaits

The lucky winner of this raffle will have the unique opportunity to welcome Drew Magary into their home, where he will raid their fridge and pantry and whip up a delectable meal using the available ingredients. As a former Chopped champion, Magary's culinary prowess is undeniable, and the chance to have him prepare a custom-tailored meal in your own kitchen is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Defector estimates that a decent meal these days can cost upwards of $28, making this opportunity a true bargain for the winner.

Exclusive Perks for All Contributors

But the excitement doesn't stop there. Even if you don't win the raffle, every contributor will receive a curated selection of Dave McKenna Slack bits, some of which have previously "broken contain." This exclusive perk offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes banter and insights that make Defector's content so engaging and entertaining.
