Hello builders of teams. We hosted our most popular Team Program here at City Beach last week, The Extreme Chef. Teams competed against each other to create three original dishes in 45 minutes racing against each other and the giant time clock. Our top emcee, Jay Filicia led the group through a culinary competition that truly lived up to it’s name and the results were delicious. Of course, I had to sit in as a guest on the judging panel ( I think Jay introduced me as a wealthy entrepreneur, that guy is nuts). As the teams presented their wonderful creations, I couldn’t help but think “I’m actually getting paid to eat”, finally I have found my calling 
The dishes created by the three teams in last weeks competition truly blew me away. That rag tag bunch of corporate heroes conjured up their inner Julia Child and threw down some creations that I would in all honesty not hesitate to put on our restaurant menu. The level of quality and presentation that I see in our Extreme Chef never ceases to amaze me. In fact, I’ve been thinking about adding a little more fun to the already killer cook off. Each month, the top Extreme Chef dish could be featured in our very own restaurant, and the actual “corporate chefs” who created it will get top billing on our menu. It’s a special little treat I think would be a really cool addition to an already really cool program.
Tell me what you think about that idea and in the meantime, check out our Extreme Chef and other ridiculously fun Team Programs for the holidays. Until next time.
Bon Apetit and Mahalo (That’s Italian and Hawaiian, it’s Italiwaiian).
