Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to have a ridiculous amount of fun.

Cooking With Grace is a friendly, high-energy cooking game where you can sign up as either a Competitor (cook) or a Judge (director). Everyone brings one “mystery ingredient,” we reveal the surprise stash, form teams, and then cook a full spread while music’s playing. Afterward, we taste, judge a few fun categories, declare some winners, and then… we all feast and chill together.

How it works (high level)

• Sign up as a Competitor or a Judge
• Competitors are assigned a category of mystery item to bring (protein, veggie, seasoning/sauce, etc.)
• We reveal all the mystery items at the start
• Teams get a short planning huddle, then pitch quick ideas (starter / main / side / dessert)
• Judges act like “directors” and assign mystery items + a fun challenge to each team
• Then it’s 2 hours of cooking + music + teamwork
• Teams present their dishes, judges score, winners announced
• Everyone eats everything. Glory ensues.

The vibe

Creative and tasty. Think “surprisingly delicious,” not “prank food.”

Who should come?

• You like cooking (even casually)
• You like friendly competition
• You want a social night that ends in a giant shared meal
• Or you just want to be a Judge and steer the madness from the throne 😄

What to bring

• If you’re a Competitor, you’ll get a quick message with what category to bring (and simple guidelines).
• Judges just bring themselves (and their best dramatic judging faces).

Spots are limited so teams stay workable.

Reply / RSVP with: “Competitor” or “Judge” (and if you have any allergies we should know).
