We took our team there for an evening. The theme was "Iron Chef." We had to design our menus. The team at Cook LA was incredible. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let that deter you. It is a nice and quaint place and frankly, once people start competing, it doesn't matter. I think our group broke to of the little bells that you press during the Family Feud competition (I'll leave that to you to experience). Needless to say, it is very lively and a hell of a lot of fun.
If you are looking for a great way to get people talking and working together in a fun atmosphere, then look no further. Everyone will thank you for a terrific time!
The only thing is that you have to supply your own alcohol but they do have a vendor which does make it easier and they will deliver directly to Cook LA.
Have a great time!
