Salsa Showdown
Turn your team into Southwestern chefs! Your goal will be to create a delicious award winning salsa, from scratch. Work against the clock to create and market your unique salsa creation and try to please the panel of judges.
Event Overview
Experience the Sights, Sounds, and flavors of Mexico!
In this cooking team building activity, your group will be divided into small teams. Each team will be challenged with creating the best tasting salsa from scratch and deciding on which ingredients to use. Which recipe will your team use to build their culinary masterpiece?
Teams will have their own designated table with a pot, spoons, knives, cutting boards, aprons, markers and utensils. They will work against the clock, and each other, to create their salsa and then market it to the rest of the crowd.
It’s a hot cooking team building challenge where team members will also create team chants and design aprons that showcase their salsa “brand.” In the center of the room will be a spice table and vegetable marketplace.
This gastronomical group cooking class combines creativity with culinary skill as teams work together to win over the taste buds of the judges. Prizes will be awarded on creativity, presentation and taste. The tone of your Salsa Showdown will be set as teams come into the ballroom or meeting site, to the beat of Latin music.
For extra pep, you can add a Wine Tasting Team Building Challenge to this event. Along with making the best salsa they can make, teams will also have to whip a tasty batch of sangria.

We had a great time and I received a lot of positive feedback from the team. They were surprised, had fun and enjoyed participating in multiple activities. Michael was amazing!
The event was perfect !!!!! Your staff were amazing and engaging. We absolutely loved the activities building up to the Teddy Bear Build. Beyond our expectations.
The hunt was a huge success!! Even this skeptical crowd of mobile app building designers and engineers were pleasantly surprised with the very cool smartphone application and everyone had a really great time! Michael and his team did a terrific job facilitating and the whole event went very smoothly.
Amazing! The event was a HUGE success! Everything was perfect – the participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I can’t say enough about how well it went. The word is already flying around the office about the success of the program and we already have another group thinking about using this program for an event of their own!
Our client and the guests LOVED the activity. Paul did an amazing job keeping everyone engaged and entertained.
Professional and really engaged with our team! Looked like your chefs love what they do. You can see it and feel it! Our mission and goal were achieved!
