What you'll do
The Amazing Race meets a cooking challenge in this delightful team-building activity. This experience promises to increase teamwork, encourage efficiency, improve productivity and more. Learn how you can build effective teams with cooking classes.This team cooking challenge is designed as a hybrid---it uses the same theme as the popular Amazing Race TV show. This will suit a variety of event styles where you want your team to have some great fun, plus some challenges along the way.Teams will have to work together or nominate a leader to perform an activity or task designed to test their teamwork, communication and decision-making in order to receive the clue to their next location. With our version, teams of 2-3-4 or 10 people will make their way to Victoria Street grocer, meat, kitchen, or fish stores to find secret ingredient challenges. They will take photos of the ingredients. They race to finish as the number one team.They will then complete the 2nd challenge by cooking with the chosen menu. Our chef will judge teams to award the most authentic, tasty, well-presented dish. Victoria Street Richmond is famous for Vietnamese foods, so naturally, we do Vietnamese food; however, we can work on Korean or Chinese menus.Ahead Of The ChallengeConfirm preferred cuisine: Vietnamese, Korean, and Chinese.First Hour
