"We really enjoyed the Competitive Chef competition! CEO Chef was able to handle our large group of 180 restaurant managers with ease. Our managers were exposed to new recipes and inventive ways of cooking and are still talking about the experience. CEO Chef took care of all the details. It was a worry free event for us."

Laurie H.
Director of Training

“I loved the program today and in over 30 years in the industry, in sales, this is the best by far!”

“I am so not athletic and I am sick of doing athletic events at these team building events. And it was the first time I could enjoy cooking, and eating while bulding team spirit as well. It was awesome. I would highly recommend it (CEO Chef)!”

“I am Adria A., Senior Executive Vice President of Human Resources. I have worked with CEO Chef many times before coming to Discovery (Communications) coming from NBC/Universal and had great experiences (at NBC/Universal). (I) ran an event tonight with my team, my new team of 8 months and we just enjoyed it tremendously and I recommend this highly to anyone doing team building events.”

“Thank you Jim, it was a great experience (and) so much fun and everyone enjoyed it. People were skeptical at first, but when they come to this, they were have a blast! So thank you very much Jim and CEO Chef.”

“Hi I’m David S. (President) of N-Able Alliance. I work with corporate executives and (their) teams. Today we had CEO Chef come her in Dallas (TX) to work with one of my best customers, Nokia. Jim and the CEO Chef Team did an outstanding job and (we) achieved everything we set out to achieve and more. And I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of doing this kind of event.”

“ I’m Connie D. and I’m manager of the [] department for Weston Solutions. We really wanted to have a fun team building event so we turned to Jim from CEO Chef and came up with this great idea of doing a cooking demonstration and letting my group of 30 people be [] and prepare all the food and Jim [] for about an hour and forty-five minutes [] of [] time a little bit of drinking involved, a lot of cooking and a lot of fun, chopping, nobody lost any fingers, no accidents. Everybody had a great time. Everybody prepared food and it [was] delicious and wonderful and Jim from CEO Chef is wonderful and I suggest everyone [] and have a wonderful time with their team building. After it’s all done, it’s all tied together and everybody left with smiles on their faces and came together in their teams and left with great feelings and wonderful memories ”

“ The CEO Chef activity was a HUGE success. People couldn’t stop talking about it. One of the more competitive women on my team actually called her 82 year old mom in the Midwest during the activity to find out how to make a radish rose and was then devastated when Jim showed the whole room how to do it because she was counting on that being her “competitive edge” from a garnish perspective. Very funny!

Thanks so much for your flexibility and help. Our teams are much better for the exercise and I was amazed at how much it loosened everyone up and took us to a new level in terms of openness with one another.

Thanks so much for everything!!!!!"

District Sales Manager.

“My name is Daniela M. I’m with Amgen. We worked with CEO Chef to team build with two of our sales teams and found it to be an extraordinary experience. It was not only a lot of fun, but it had some great lessons related to teamwork. I think any of us that have seen any of the cooking shows on TV now understand that to cook a gourmet meal (or any meal) really does require teamwork. I think it’s a great lesson in communication, in planning, in organization and, most of all, just in having fun and getting to learn more about each other. So, thank you, CEO Chef!"

District Sales Manager.

“Hi. My name is Nancy S. and I work for Southern California Edison. I’m here to let you know that I have used CEO Chef, Mr. Jim Connolly, for several of my events that I have planned (I’m a corporate event planner.) His team did an excellent job of providing wonderful team building services in cooking. It’s great and I think you’ll be very happy with the services that he provides."

“ Hi! We’re from Arden Realty and we just had our first Arden chef event hosted by CEO Chef. It was a fantastic event, well organized. Lots of fun, lots of team building and just a fantastic event altogether. Thank you so much, CEO Chef. Everyone had a great time. "

“ Hi. I’m Dave Lake I’m the Associate Vice President of HR for National University. I’d just like to add my endorsement for CEO Chef. We’re building a program here with our HR team around stretching your strengths and being able to accomplish whatever you want despite what you might not think is a talent. CEO Chef has been great to come out here and help us prove through our cooking skills despite the fact none of us are cooks there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. So, it’s been a great mirror to our strength building program and a great complement to what we are trying to accomplish. Thank you! "
