Culinary Team Building Events

[for Frequently Asked Questions please click the FAQ > button below]

Much in demand by our clients, culinary team building activities were recently named one of the top ten meeting trends. On the menu: challenges like creativity, communication, time and resource management and cooperation. The result: new friendships, a more unified team and delicious meals!

Cooking is an enjoyable activity that everyone is capable of doing. In fact, one’s prowess in the kitchen is in no way related to one’s tasks in the workplace; roles are sometimes reversed, stereotypes fall by the wayside and a new group dynamic can emerge. Since the kitchen is a familiar environment and food is a universal language, people who cook together can become closer in a way that endures beyond the team building exercise itself.

Scroll down for a preview of our latest culinary team building events, then contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable representatives to discuss your situation and vision. Need a detailed proposal right away? That's our specialty.

“I am writing to thank you for organizing our 2nd annual client event. I was especially appreciative of your one-on-one attention and felt very comfortable leaving even the smallest details in your very capable hands. This is the second time we have used you and it's certainly not the last!”

IRON CHEF BBQ CHALLENGE

The time has come to once again answer life’s most savoury question: whose BBQ cuisine reigns supreme?! Outback Iron Chef BBQ Challenge combines authentic “Southern Charcoal BBQ” with the Iron Chef television show as a new way for groups to challenge their culinary skills and work together as a team. This unique team event is intended to recreate such themes as creative thinking, communication and team interaction, all while learning skills they can use when hosting their own future BBQ.

Iron Chef BBQ Challenge takes place outdoors using charcoal Weber barbeques; if you are concerned about the weather please ask us about tenting or covered area options.

THE TASTE RACE

In this exciting culinary adventure, teams compete in a race against the clock to collect all the stamps required to fill in their culinary passport. Earn stamps by engaging in a variety of food-related cerebral, creative, and interactive challenges, each worth a varying level of points. Sushi rolling, pizza tossing, taste tests, cake decorating, and restaurant trivia all add up to a great time for your team.

The Taste Race is designed to take place in an urban environment; however, it can also be run at other locations on a custom basis.

CAKE CREATORS

The reality TV world is filled with sweet shows and delectable drama all about desserts. Our newest event, Cake Creators, has proven to be popular and effective with many of our corporate clients. Can you imagine your accounting department decorating cakes? Can you picture your manager piping out frosting? This is a delicious culinary team building experience designed to bring diverse groups together in a competitive yet supportive environment.

Cake Creators can be done in any indoor venue suitable for your group size.

DINING IN THE DARK

During this pitch black (and we mean black… no lights of any kind are allowed in the dining area) culinary adventure you’ll discover a feast for your senses. With your dominant sense on hold, your remaining senses will heighten as you move through each course, allowing you to experience tastes and sounds like never before. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with each other and share what they are experiencing as they try something that is truly unique.

Dining in the Dark is available at most hotels or restaurant venues, subject to suitability.

THE CHOPPING BLOCK

In this culinary team building event, participants will come together under the watchful eye of a professional chef to learn the essential skills and techniques for success in the kitchen. These skills will be put to the test when each team is given a basket of mystery ingredients and asked to prepare and present a cocktail reception for their fellow competitors. The teams that fail to impress the chef will be subject to the chopping block while the winning team will be presented with the highly coveted La Toque d'Or.

This exciting program can be done in any venue and location, subject to suitability.

GALLOPING GOURMETS

This is a high paced, fun and competitive culinary event where Culinary Teams will compete side by side creating out of this world dishes with the objective of winning over the judge's taste buds. You'll have a limited time at each of the cooking stations to create your meal extraordinaire. The event will be under the watchful eye of a professional chef who will give all the best tips on making your best efforts successful and fun, keeping in mind if you burn you learn! In culinary team building, victory is sweet!

Galloping Gourmets requires an indoor professional kitchen and is therefore venue specific and based on availability of our venue-partners.
