But don’t just come to this class to hear about why cooking classes are great for building teams—this hands on class will allow some attendees to go through the steps of a competition all the way to completion, while Chef Lee Anderson and her team offer the important information you’ll need to pitch and execute one for your next client. See the set up, move through the set up, and an attendee-team will be crowned winner!
Note: Ten competitors will be chosen by lottery amongst attendees in the class, others can follow along, learn, vote, and enjoy the finished products.
