Have Spatula, Will Travel: How Our Off-Site Team Building Events Work!
DID YOU KNOW… The Seasoned Chef is Denver’s premier company for off-site CULINARY events! We have the wherewithal, the equipment, and the team members that are always willing to travel to you. Our Chefs love to travel to whatever environment fits your event best, whether that’s an Airbnb in Evergreen or a conference center in Englewood. We will travel to you and your event won’t skip a beat!
Our group events are entirely customized to your needs. The size of the event, the type of food you’d like to prepare, and the final setup are up to you. For us, that even includes the location!
Typical questions that we’ve been receiving surrounding our group events lately include, “What’s the setup?” “How can these help our team and business grow and thrive?,” and “Is my team a good candidate for this type of programming?”
While these events are customized to each individual group, we thought we’d give you a little glimpse into why we believe that booking an event with The Seasoned Chef is one of the best steps you can take towards building a strong team that is successful and feels appreciated in their respective roles... especially after that big pandemic thing has kept you away from each other for such a long time.
Now let’s dive in…
WHY THE SEASONED CHEF WORKS
For over 20 years, The Seasoned Chef has hosted culinary team building and group events with a proven track record of success. Across the years, we’ve honed our craft to efficiently host events where participants work toward a common goal to ultimately increase communication, achieve new skills, and enhance camaraderie, all in an environment where all the details are to you, as the primary planner, as effortless as possible.
Our team is built to accommodate groups 8-120 people in size, while uniquely customizing all of the details to be a culinary team-building event that fits the specific goals of your organization. We can travel to you, or you are always welcome within our Seasoned Chef home. To many we’ve worked with, this is a notable reason why they choose to work with The Seasoned Chef. Our ability to travel means that you can always host your event in the space that best fits your organization’s needs! What we say frequently amongst our team is The Seasoned Chef difference… “HAVE SPATULA, WILL TRAVEL!”
WHY CULINARY TEAM BUILDING WORKS
Depending on your role within your business you might not be familiar with the copious amount of research available proving one fact that we’ve known for a long time… culinary team building works!
Often, while employees might select their job based on surface-level factors, such as salary or job description, these are typically not the factors that determine a person’s role for the long term. People stay in their role when they feel appreciated, well managed, motivated, and feel like they’re a part of a strong team.
This is not an easy task, especially now that almost everyone has been working from home or in hybrid work situations.
But hosting a culinary team building event puts your employees into a space where teamwork is absolutely necessary. Through these events, collaborative teams improve productivity, increase motivation and collaboration, and improve communication. This all while the organization is encouraging their employee’s creativity and positively reinforcing great work. It’s a win for everyone involved!
OUR SET UP FOR CULINARY TEAM BUILDING EVENTS
At a high level, our group events typically last around 3.5-4 hours. To begin, Chef Dan provides detailed instruction for the entire group, related to a menu that is selected by you. We then break the larger group into smaller teams of two to ten individuals and provide recipes that interconnect the various teams.
This process, in turn, creates a fun environment where individuals of all levels of seniority, departments, and years of tenure are working together towards one common goal.
Also, you can trust that we’re keeping you safe. Click here to see all of the current safety precautions that we have in place.

While we follow several of our own safety precautions, please be aware that we are flexible to fit your team’s comfort level (ex. wearing masks, etc.).
SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Don’t just trust our opinion on our events. Here’s what some of our clients are saying!
“Did a cooking competition here with my company. It was a blast! Everyone was very helpful and made the experience a ton of fun. We even went over on time and they were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend for a team building event, family bonding or even a bachelorette party!” – Deanna B.
“I was fortunate enough to come here as part of a team-building event with my work colleagues for a night of ‘Christmas in Tuscany.”
“We hired The Seasoned Chef for a private cooking workshop at our VRBO rental. We had 3 couples and had a wonderful experience. Chef Devin provided excellent skills training (knives, meat and vegetable knowledge); Kris and Mike assisted and they were professional and made it a fun evening. I highly recommend this as a fun night. They cleaned up and we were left with leftovers, recipes, and a very clean kitchen.” - Mary R.
