“We LOVE the ‘Iron Chef’ team building events offered by the Center for Meeting and Learning.  We have booked three Iron Chef events, and they have all been huge hits with our clients. Chefs and student chefs are always eager to answer any questions and lend their suggestions should we ask!  I find the events extremely organized, from the way that teams are created, to the meal planning and cooking, to the judging process.  Of course, the best part is eating a meal that we have created together!

We highly recommend the Iron Chef event for a special client appreciation evening, team building, or for any occasion where the goal is to join cooking, fun, and friends.”
