GREAT AMERICAN GRILL-OFF
From one network to another, televisions are full of grilling shows, highlighting burgers, brats, and beyond. Our Great American Grill-Off pits teams against each other, in a quest worthy of Food Network. After competing in our face-off challenges, where they’re ranked, teams choose their ingredients and the real competition begins. We’ve combined a good old-fashioned backyard barbecue, with a smorgasbord of competitive challenges, all fused together for an afternoon you won’t soon forget. Which team’s members will prove to be the grill masters is up for grabs. Ultimately, a feast of flavors is enjoyed by all, with a roaming from grill to grill, sampling the homemade sliders and salads created by your participants. So grab your favorite spatula and get the dad jokes ready . . . this is the greatest grill-off this side of the backyard fence.
The Experience At A Glance
The competition starts off with a rousing icebreaker or two, building the competitive mood.
Teams then compete in our “M&Ms Face-Off” challenges, where they attempt to earn more points than their opponents, and are ranked.
Based upon this ranking, teams are invited to the general store, where they select their slider meat from a variety of options (beef, chicken, tofu (veggie), and pork are just a few of the possibilities), their choice of bread, salad fixins’, and special sauces.
Chefs begin cooking and the marketing team works on the restaurant’s unique name, logo, and live publicity presentation, while the service team trains for the grand opening.
The ultimate challenge is to create an award-worthy slider (grilling their homemade patties, and topping them with cheeses, vegetables, and special sauces) and a prized complementary salad, all for evaluation by judges tougher than Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay, combined.
In order to enhance the experience, many groups chose to add a selection of beverages, to the program. This is an excellent way to “pair” the food made by your group. “Suds” anyone?!?!
And, of course, the final stage is visiting each team’s station, tasting the different grub. An outdoor meal activity, perfect for the summer months, our Great American Grill-Off is sure to hit the bull’s-eye.
