The Black Box Challenge with Chef Erin Circelli: October 23rd | 5:30 pm

The Black Box Challenge with Chef Erin Circelli

A Live, Interactive Four-Course Culinary Experience at Monarch Culinary

What happens when you give a three-time Guy’s Grocery Games winner a mystery selection of ingredients and ask her to create dinner on the spot?

You’re about to find out.

Monarch Culinary is thrilled to welcome Chef Erin Circelli, three-time winner of Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games, for one unforgettable evening of creativity, spontaneity, and incredible food.

Inspired by the excitement of a classic Black Box culinary challenge, this interactive experience puts you in on the action.

Throughout the evening, guests will help select ingredients that Chef Erin must incorporate into the menu. Armed with your choices and only a curated selection of pantry staples, she’ll be challenged to think on her feet and create two appetizer courses and one main course — live, in front of the room.

There’s no predetermined menu.

No rehearsed outcome.

And no telling exactly what Chef Erin will create until the ingredients are revealed.

That’s all part of the fun.

Expect plenty of interaction, culinary insight, storytelling, technique, and the kind of quick thinking that helped Chef Erin become a three-time Guy’s Grocery Games champion.

And after the challenge? We’ll finish the evening with a specially prepared dessert, bringing the experience to a delicious four-course finale.

Your Evening Includes

• An exclusive guest-chef experience with Chef Erin Circelli
• The opportunity to help choose the mystery ingredients
• A live, spontaneous Black Box cooking challenge
• Two chef-created appetizer courses

• A specially prepared dessert course

Part Cooking Class. Part Culinary Competition. Completely Unpredictable.

This isn’t a traditional cooking class, and it isn’t simply dinner.

It’s a front-row seat to a chef’s creative process.

You’ll see how an accomplished professional approaches unfamiliar ingredients, builds flavours, adapts ideas, solves problems, and transforms a mystery selection into a restaurant-worthy meal — all while sharing the techniques and thought process behind each dish.

Come ready to choose wisely.

Chef Erin will take it from there.

Space for this exclusive event will be limited. Reserve your seat early and join us for one of Monarch Culinary’s most exciting guest-chef experiences yet.
