Team-Building Cooking Class Parties, Chef Mario's Style...   
Forget all you think you know about Cooking Classes and Welcome to our version of "Hell's Kitchen"...

There will be mistakes, there may be tears and you will eat what you cook
In this class, your employees will have to sharpen valuable skills such as communication, networking, creative thinking and cooperation, as well as learning how to cook.


What to expect
Expect to get your hands dirty. We don't put on a show- YOU are the cooks. We are merely your guides.

Expect to work. We will help you along the way, but this is your team-building class and your dinner.

Lastly, Expect the Unexpected. We have been known to pull out a few tricks. Do you think you're a good listener? Hopefully you'll be quick enough to grab an apron- and how are your knife skills? We will be standing by to give you tips, instructions and help you out of any jams, but you will be required to work with your team to ensure your dinner turns out fabulous!

What you'll need
A team of 10-40 folks
A good sense of humor
A hungry tummy


The Specifics
We offer our Cooking Class Experience to teams of 10-40 people. The price for our cooking class will depend on the number in the group and typically ranges from $45-85 per person and id based on your minimum guaranteed headcount. The menus are best left up to the Chef so he can devise a super fun and challenging menu for your group, but please let us know of any food allergies in your group and we'd be happy to accommodate!

The Team Building Cooking Class Menus consists of:
Salad Course
Double Entree Course
Accompanying Sides
Dessert Course
Sweet Tea and Unsweet Tea
Plus an ice-breaker appetizer on us!

There is a Kitchen and Staff fee of $200 per party (regardless of party size) to cover space, staff, set-up, break-down and clean-up.


If you'd like us to come to you, Chef Mario is subject to availability and the Chef fee is $500 and $500 for up to 10 participants. Pricing includes local travel time, groceries and Chef Mario himself at your service! Classes are typically 3 hours long.

Cooking Classes are subject to the availability of Chef Mario so we highly recommend booking early. A 50% deposit on your event is required to hold your date and the rest is due on or before the day of your cooking class. Once booked, we will turn down any conflicting events to honor our commitment to you, therefore deposits are non-refundable.

Best times of year to book your cooking classes are during the catering off-season. Ideal months are January, February, July and August.

It is an experience not to be missed and one you won't soon forget.
