Hot/Cold Tapas
Tapas are a wide variety of appetizers or snacks commonly found in Spanish cuisine that are meant to share with good friends and a good glass of wine! Once teams are formed through a series of exciting icebreakers, they will each prepare hot and cold tapas for the judges to taste. Ingredients along with recipe will be provided which encourages teambuilding and fosters communication. Teams are judged by taste, presentation and teamwork, and once the winners are crowned, guests can feast on the delicious tapas they created.
Foodie Truck
Food trucks have become an American staple in recent years, so we’re bringing them right to the dining table and incorporating an element of competition! Once teams are formed through a series of group ice breakers, they will further be divided into those preparing the food truck fare and those who design the food truck brand name and logo. Teams will be judged on the taste of their product and the creativity and originality of their truck façade and logo. Once the winners are crowned, team members are free to roam from truck to truck and feast on the delicious dishes prepared by each group!
Iron Chef-style group cooking competition
In this fast-paced team building activity, guests are divided into large teams and face off in a timed culinary competition. With Chef Jodi and our Lajollacooks4u staff as culinary coaches, teams are challenged to create delicious dishes from scratch. When the clock runs out, each team presents their creation to the judge and then enjoys the feast they created. Teams are judged on presentation, taste and teamwork, and the team with the highest overall score will be crowned the winners.
Tacos and Tequila
We kick off this fun-filled, interactive event with a few icebreakers, and then move on to the kitchen to get started! Team members engage in a little friendly competition in this fast-paced challenge while they prepare several different tacos and topping items. They then move to the bar where they get to experience mixology first-hand — pairing their taco dishes with our signature tequila cocktails! Once the winning team has been determined, all participants savor their food and drink creations while taking in the ambiance and great company. An ideal package for those who love tacos and seasonal ingredients!
