“Thank you for your wonderful help for organizing our Anniversary party last month. Our Iron Chef BBQ Challenge in Toronto allowed each team to create their own unique ‘masterpiece’. Some of the teams were very original in the naming of their food and teams, which made the whole thing very comical. A lot of people were able to socialize and get to know one another who do not normally work together. Some people were also meeting for the first time. It was a wonderful event … we would definitely do it again!
