Team Building Packages

HAVING EXECUTED THOUSANDS OF SUCCESSFUL TEAM-BUILDING EVENTS OVER THE YEARS, WE BOAST AN UNPARALLELED LIST OF CORPORATE CLIENTS FROM COAST TO COAST, AND EVEN INTERNATIONALLY.

Price: $150 per person Duration: 3 hours

Our most popular format! Your group is divided into teams, and each, with a professional chef-instructor, conceives of and executes a complete meal. A different protein component is assigned to each team. Together your group will brainstorm a menu in whatever ethnic or regional cuisine they’d like. Each team’s meals are served together on a grand buffet—a great option for pleasing many palates! Judging takes place behind the scenes, and the winning team is announced during dessert.

Which team will reign supreme?

Sabotage Kitchen

Price: $165 per person Duration: 3 hours

Our Classic Iron Chef with amped-up energy and an extra-competitive twist. Each team creates a savory and a sweet dish, working through the obstacles thrown their way: time restraints, brainstorming sessions, speed shopping, chopping, sautéing, and mischievous sabotages. You’ll need to use your team’s skills wisely to beat the game and the other teams! Dine on your creations as your first course and dessert course and enjoy a catered main course entrée.

Happy Hour Iron Chef

Price: $125 per person Duration: 2 1⁄2 hours

Match your creative genius against your co-workers in this spirited, fast-paced format! Guests are greeted with a European cheese and fruit board and a non-alcoholic beverage bar for a 1/2-hour reception. Each team, led by a chef-instructor, engages in a 90-minute cooking competition creating two savory appetizers, one sweet appetizer and a complementing cocktail. Judging takes place during the final half hour while guests mingle and indulge in the hors d'oeuvres and cocktails they’ve created.

Collaborative

Collaborative Menu

Price: $150 per person Duration: 3 hours

Upon your arrival, you’ll be greeted with delicious appetizers. Led by chef-instructors, your group will collaboratively create a pre-determined, themed, gourmet menu consisting of a salad or soup course, an entrée, and a dessert course. We have a variety of seasonal themed menus for you to choose from, and we’re happy to customize. When you’re done cooking, it’s time to relax and indulge. Our chef’s will plate and serve, while you kick back at our lakeview tables.

Cooking for a Cause

In this terrific team building experience, learn culinary techniques and fill a genuine need by making a donation to those less fortunate.

This format involves guests working together to create delicious meals—one to be enjoyed by you and your guests during your event and one to be donated. We’ll package, coordinate, and deliver your donations. Afterwards, you’ll relax at our lakeview tables and enjoy a meal our chefs have catered for you, or in some cases, that you have partially prepared, while you bask in a sense of accomplishment and good will. (The donation component can also be added to our Classic Iron Chef format.)

Price: $140 per person plus donation: A group of 12 may make and donate 1 meal that feeds 50. A group of 13 to 27 may make and donate 1 or 2 meals that each feed 50. A group of 28 or more may make and donate 1, 2 or 3 meals that each feed 50. Each donated meal that feeds 50 is $400. All 3 are priced at $1050.

Enhanced Competitive Team Building Option

Iron Chef Competition with Pike Place Market Shopping Excursion

Price: $195 per person Duration: 4 1⁄2 hours

Our Classic Iron Chef with the added bonus of beginning at Pike Place Market, where each team brainstorms, designs, and strategically shops within their budget for a menu with their chef. After an hour at the market, teams return to Blue Ribbon where a short appetizer and beverage reception await. Then the cooking portion of the competition begins! All meals are served together on a large buffet—a great option for pleasing many palates! Judging takes place behind the scenes, and the winning team is announced during dessert. From market to table, which team has what it takes to beat their coworkers?

(Blue Ribbon does not provide transportation to or from Pike Place Market.)

Minimum Event Guest Count to Book:

Our events are priced per person and we maintain a designated minimum event guest count for each class format.

You are welcome to have fewer guests than the minimum event guest count to book, but these minimum charges will be maintained.

Because your guest count dictates the number of kitchens reserved for your group, the final minimum event guest count for your event is determined by the guest count given at the time of deposit.

Vegetarian and Other Dietary Concerns

We want to make sure every guest has an enjoyable meal that is safe for them to consume! We host guests with various dietary concerns daily. Please be sure to share your dietary needs with us when booking your event. With the Classic Iron Chef and other competitive style formats, we usually ask all teams to create vegetarian side dishes. If you have enough vegetarians, you might also choose to make one team fully vegetarian. With other dietary concerns, dependent upon the number of teams, we ask each team to create a designated number of their savory dishes compliant with the dietary needs of your guests. With individual ingredients or unusual one-off ingredients, we’ll coordinate with you during the planning process to either eliminate them from the competition or have them labeled on your buffet. With the Collaborative Menu format, depending on the number of guests and the complexity of the modification, our chefs will either alter a portion of affected dishes during class or prepare, in advance, one or two individualized meals or dishes that complement your menu.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking.
*WA State tax will be added to bar packages but not wine tasting or cocktail classes. A 22% service charge is added to final invoices.
