Top Toques: A Team-Building Culinary Experience

Think you have what it takes to be a top toque? Round up a crew of aspiring contestants to take to the kitchens of the Culinary Institute of Charleston. CIC chefs will divide contestants into two teams for a rousing culinary competition. Each team will hit the stoves to out-cook the competition in a battle to create the best recipe for an appetizer, salad, entrée (seafood, beef, pork or poultry), vegetable and dessert course. Team members will bring their best to the Judge’s Table, but, win or lose, no one will be told to take their knives and leave. Instead, everyone will gather to feast upon their creations! The event takes approximately three hours to complete.

Team Building Menus
After the event is booked, the group selects from one of the following themes:

  • International Flavors (including China, Japan and Southeast Asia)                                            
  • American Regional Cuisine
  • Romantic Italian
  • Mediterranean Mezes
  • Hot Latino Flavors (including the Caribbean)
  • Southern Inspired

Location
Culinary Institute of Charleston, Building 920
7000 Rivers Ave., North Charleston
