The Iron Chef Team Challenge

An Iron Chef-style culinary showdown meets team connection exercise—all centered around the world’s favorite comfort food: noodles! Inspired by the idea that every culture has its own take on noodle dishes, this experience encourages creativity, collaboration, and a touch of friendly competition.

🍜 What to Expect

This isn’t just another virtual meeting—it’s a full-on culinary showdown.

  • Team Collaboration: Participants will be split into small breakout rooms where they’ll work together with colleagues to dream up and execute a creative noodle dish using a curated list of ingredients.

  • Live Coaching: Chef Ben Hayward will drop into each breakout room during the cooking process to offer feedback, tips, and a dose of culinary inspiration.

  • The Showdown: After cooking, everyone will return to the main Zoom room to present their dishes. Expect fun presentations, plenty of laughs, and a bit of friendly competition as we vote for the most creative, delicious, or downright outrageous noodle creation.

  • Bragging Rights: The winning team will be crowned champions of The Great Noodle Showdown
