Corporate Team Building

Virtual and In-Person Experiences!

Whether you want to come to our professional kitchen, or have remote folks all over the world; we offer a one of a kind experience that we guarantee your entire team will love. 

We approach team building from the premise that good food + collaboration inevitably brings out the best in people. Cooking together requires clear communication, sharing of tasks, and supporting each other. The way this translates back into the workplace is truly remarkable. 

We have been doing this for over 20 years with hundreds of happy clients and are confident that you’ll be one, too.

Want to meet at our place?

Our in-person corporate events are completely hands-on and participatory in style. Everyone will prepare each dish from the menu that you’ve chosen. At the end, everyone sits down and enjoys their meal. And yes, we have wine!


Classes are 3 hours and include hands-on instruction with a professional chef. Is your team competitive? Let us know and we will incorporate some fun, friendly competitive elements into your event!
