"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."

We spice up your meeting message by blending our culinary team experience with your leadership and innovation.

Working with us, you will be assigned a personal event manager from our team who will work with you closely to make sure your CEO Chef activity fits in seamlessly with your conference theme.

We’ll tailor the food, adjust the program script, help locate and source additional hand-outs or give-away items, be available for event planning team meetings and post-event de-brief meetings, and anything else you need from us to make your event a success.

We specialize in serving the needs of large groups

Through our years of experience, we have honed our systems and processes from our humble beginnings where 35 participants was a stretch, to today where we are handling groups of 500 or more with ease and efficiency.

You'll also find our CEO Chef trainers are expert facilitators, as well as superb entertainers and presenters trained in dealing with the special needs of larger numbers of participants.

We know what it takes to put on a large culinary team building event – from planning, to production, to post-event evaluation.

You’ll experience a highly interactive, inspiring, and (most of all) fun program for everyone.

Our programs have everyone on their feet, engaged from start to finish in preparing your group’s outcome. Even if participant’s cooking skills are limited to pushing a few buttons on a microwave, they will find a CEO Chef team building both fun and educational.

Our clients are continually amazed at the quality and presentation of the gourmet meals their participants create without any previous cooking experience! We make sure they have both the culinary and safety skills necessary for safe and successful participation in our programs.

And, if there are any members with special physical challenges, they can fully participate in a CEO Chef program right along with the rest of the group.

We feature fast and furious competitive and fantastic cooperative versions of our programs.

Are you looking to harness the competitive spirit of a room full of sales personnel? Maybe you just want a fun evening where everyone gets to know each other while participating in an enjoyable activity? We’ve got just the program for you!

We've also created a special "interactive entertainment" version of our program specifically designed for the needs of trade shows and hospitality rooms.

We design and manage all the planning and logistics so you can sleep at night.

The only additional work you need to do is provide us with your meeting theme requirements and the objectives you wish to accomplish during your time with us.

We take over and work with the hotel’s catering and event planning staff to coordinate your event. All that’s left for your group to do is show up and be ready for a great team building experience.

Our programs are compelling, exciting and intriguing to everyone!

CEO Chef programs are different from other team building events using food. Because our program leaders are primarily trainers and facilitators, you have people who are trained to serve large groups guiding your participants. This means participants reach the outcomes you want them to achieve, not just learning how to cook. (Of course, our trainers know culinary techniques as well....).

Food is just the material we use to bring groups together–add a bit of rockin’ music, whip it up with group enthusiasm and you have a great event even culinary skeptics are blown away by!

You wanted a side order of more benefits? Here you go, made-to-order:

  • We adjust to your schedule during planning and on-site.

  • Our expertise is serving large groups - to 500 or more!

  • We make the best use of your time and money because we come to where your meeting, conference or convention happens to be.

  • No kitchen? No problem – we can hold our programs virtually anywhere!

  • After more than a decade of wildly successful programs, we know how to deliver.

And, by the way...

  • You'll get a result you can really sink your teeth into!
