Team Building
Bring your team.
Make something together.
Bring your team. Make something together.
Most team-building, nobody remembers.
This is the one they’re still talking about Monday.
You’ve been handed the team event before. The escape room everyone’s already done. The happy hour where half the room is on their phones. The “mandatory fun” nobody asks to repeat.
This isn’t that. Your team cooks a real, multi-course meal together, side by side, and then sits down to enjoy what they made. People talk. People laugh. Coworkers who usually share a Slack channel end up sharing a meal they made together.
It’s simple, but it works. And it’s why companies of all sizes have been bringing their teams to The Local Epicurean for more than a decade.
HOW TO BOOK
Tell us your group size, preferred date, and what you're looking for. We'll help build the experience from there. Our instructors guide the entire event, we can accommodate dietary needs, and we work with groups of eight or more, from small teams to large company gatherings.
Wine and beverage pairings are also available. Menus change seasonally, so ask about current options when you book.

“If you’re planning a team event, a client gathering, or simply want a memorable night out, this is a must-try spot in Grand Rapids. It’s more than a meal. It’s an experience worth sharing.”
“I hosted a corporate event at The Local Epicurean East Lansing and they were fantastic. The entire process was stress-free from beginning to end, and the instructors worked very well with our large group. Highly recommend for team events.”
“Management chose this location for our annual Holiday Party, and I could not be MORE THRILLED with the results. Even the reluctant joined in cooking. We even made and judged dessert as a team!”
