Hear from our Happy Event Clients

“We hosted an event for 20 people at The Chopping Block and had the best time! The chefs and staff were incredibly helpful and made it easy for everyone to learn new cooking skills, while still having fun and socializing. The space is great! We were upstairs and it felt like a real home kitchen. I cannot recommend them enough for events.”

~Kari Blanks, GoodVets Recruitment

"What an outstanding experience! Very professional and fun! Our group of 20 used the 'mystery recipe competition' for our holiday party. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed, and The Chopping Block staff were extraordinary! Highly recommend!"

~Rob Karr, Illinois Retail Merchants Association

"We are still talking about our event at The Chopping Block! It was perfect in every way. The chef instructors were really great, in presenting and teaching a group with varied skill levels in the kitchen. The meal was fantastic, and while everything was delicious, the group is still talking about the alfredo sauce! We are already planning another event at The Chopping Block.

~Carla Zenzola, Vi Living

"We are an extremely competitive bunch, and my team thoroughly enjoyed the night. My problem now will be how to top it next year. In fact, we were recently at dinner and members of the winning team (myself included) were still razzing the losing team. So, almost three months later, we're still getting value from the night. You have a great thing going at The Chopping Block!"
