The Chopping Block
The Chopping Block transforms corporate groups into culinary teams through hands-on cooking classes and wine tastings in their professional Chicago kitchens. Teams work together to prepare multi-course meals under expert chef guidance, then sit down to enjoy their creations family-style. The combination of skill-building and shared dining creates natural conversation and collaboration.
What to Expect
Your group will be divided into cooking stations where you'll tackle different components of a complete meal, from appetizers to desserts. Professional chefs provide instruction and coaching as teams chop, sauté, and plate their dishes. The session concludes with everyone gathering around communal tables to enjoy the feast you've prepared together, often paired with wine selections.
Who It's For
Ideal for teams of 12-30 people who want an interactive experience that feels more sophisticated than typical team activities. The collaborative cooking process works especially well for groups that don't interact daily, as the shared tasks naturally spark conversation and teamwork.
