Team Building with Taste™ Expands to Dallas

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Forget obstacle courses, mini-golf and painting exercises. Corporate teams in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex can now convene to build essential collaborative skills and esprit de corps around a universal interest: food.

Team Building with Taste™, founded in Atlanta in 2012, will open its doors in October at 18101 Preston Road in North Dallas' Preston Frankford Crossing. Inside, participants will team up to participate in a competitive cooking challenge and team building activity designed to foster leadership and teamwork while offering a different – and delicious – group experience.

Located at the northwest corner of Preston Road and Frankford Road, just 2 miles from the Dallas North Tollway and 1 mile from the George Bush Tollway, Team Building with Taste Dallas can simultaneously accommodate up to 100 participants as well as multiple groups. Groups are broken into teams that participate in a hands-on, three-hour culinary experience that includes preparing, presenting and enjoying a meal created from fresh, often locally grown ingredients. Trained chefs guide the experience.

"More than 200 companies have benefited from the Team Building with Taste experience, including Wells Fargo, Deloitte, Delta Air Lines and McKesson, many of them returning again and again," said Chic Henderson, Dallas General Manager. "Dallas, with its large number of businesses and naturally competitive spirit, is the logical location for expansion of this successful corporate team building program." 

Team Building with Taste's centerpiece is Kitchen Coliseum, a gleaming, stainless-steel kitchen with multiple workstations featuring commercial cooking equipment, including deep fryers, convection ovens, Salamanders and other items generally found in restaurant kitchens and on competitive cooking shows. Here, teams work together to "beat the clock" and prepare a meal for judging and eventual consumption.

"Winning teams are awarded prizes, but we believe every participant wins by learning more about their co-workers and themselves," added Henderson. "And they have fun doing it."

Henderson went on to explain that specific corporate team building objectives can be easily woven into the program, which is customized for specific needs. Photographs are taken throughout the experience and provided to the teams as a slide show at the conclusion of the event. Unused food will be donated to organizations in Dallas and Collin counties that provide shelter, training and support for temporarily homeless families.

Team Building with Taste Dallas will also offer Dallas cooking classes and space for catered events including corporate meetings, receptions, parties and reunions.
