Team Building Activity: Guac and Salsa Stand Off
Assemble the crew for a fun team building activity that combines a cooking class with a little friendly competition! Chef Juan will teach you and your team how to create two delectable Mexican dips: guacamole and salsa.
After that, your teammates will break out into groups and decide how they want to doctor up their dips using flavorful mix-ins like chiles, corn, mango, tomato, and more. They'll create memorable moments and learn the value of teamwork as they collaborate on crafting the tastiest dip of all. During the judging period, everyone will enjoy taste-testing each other's creations and voting on who will take home the title of Guac Guru!

Could not more highly recommend this class! Chef Juan and Chef David were amazing, educational, entertaining/funny, and we had a blast. We were a group of 19 people, but despite our size they made it engaging and hilarious. Learned a handful of new cooking tips to bring home -and btw, the cooking tips extend beyond just guacamole and salsa; we learned some solid chopping skills and knife handling tips which will serve for years to come. 10/10 would recommend.

Our team took part in a company cooking class (Pasta Show Down) and had fun once things got underway. The instructor was engaging, and we enjoyed the hands-on experience and chance to connect as a group. However, the class started late (they were not ready when we arrived), went over by an hour or more, and felt somewhat disorganized at times. We were also expecting the food to be more substantial—it ended up being more of a tasting than a full meal. Overall, we had a good time, but the experience would have benefited from better organization and time management.

The couple's cooking class was so fun and informative. We learned how to make pasta and a special sauce from scratch! Chef Juan was also very helpful and really knows how to make our time worthwhile! @classpopevents
