Plus our Walk-In Events and Fundraisers are super popular on location! These work best in large recreation centers, multi-purpose rooms and senior centers, etc… Chef It Up 2 Go will conduct a 2.5 hour event where guests can just stop by the location of event (and for a very inexpensive amount) make whatever we have planned on the menu that we will wrap up for them to bring home and enjoy. It’s a great way for your school or organization to raise money and all they have to do is provide the tables, chairs and location and let us provide the rest! Chef It Up 2 Go runs the event then gives back 50% of the proceeds towards the fundraiser! Win win for all! Here are some of the most popular Walk-In Event/Fundraiser Options

troops, field trips & Summer camps
Come earn your Jr Simple Meals badge with Chef it Up 2 Go! In each of the below class options we will go over Allergy Awareness, knife safety and proper produce care. These events are fun and hands on all while learning! We group it together so they are making a lunch/dinner item, a breakfast item and dessert!
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
These classes are 90 minutes. No oven, no problem we can run the event as a make, take and bake, where they fully prepare the dish and they take it home labeled with clear instruction on temp and time to bake at home.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

- Fresh Pasta from Scratch, Fruit Salad and Decorate a Cupcake
- Parmesan Zucchini Boat, Cheese Danish and Fruit Pudding Tart
- Zucchini Spiral Salad, Fruit Parfait and Apple Crostata.
