I understand. I worked in the corporate world for 22 years and team building was up there with jury duty as something I knew I should do but didn’t want to do cause I was way too busy and it didn’t seem like fun to me.
But you know what? Our team building events are.
They’re also a great way to get to know the people you work with better which generally leads to working with them better. Chop with the people you rarely talk to. Get your accountant to graze with the creative guy. Roast a brand manager. Toast good things to come.

Here’s how we do it here:

• We divide the groups up into teams and assign each team a recipe.
• Teams are assigned a Corner Cooks Chef to guide them through. We crank the music, pour the wine and you get to work.
• Once preparations are complete, you sit down and we take it from there. Each team gets to show off and tell everyone how difficult their assignment was. Everyone claps. We serve. You dine.
• Team building events are available for groups of 12 –40 participants

• A 4- hour team building event is $100 per guest and includes recipes, instruction, all food and supplies and service. *
• A 20% service charge and tax is added to the final bill. * All beverages are additional and wines may be chosen from our wine list prior to the event
