What an amazing experience! As someone who has done a TON of mediocre teambuilding and engagement activities, I cannot recommend chef tre enough. His ability to engage our large and diverse group while making it a fun and memorable experience for all was extremely impressive. Even people who normally roll their eyes at these sorts of activities were participating and having a great time. It didn't matter if you were an experienced chef, a novice, a senior leader, or a newbie on the team....everyone loved it! His location was a bit out-of-the-way for our company and took us about a half hour to drive to (which is not a distance we normally travel for dinners/activities). On the way there, some people were complaining about how far away it was, but THE MOMENT chef tre started talking with everyone there was zero additional mention of the drive (and it wasn't mentioned again a single time after the fact). Thank you chef Tre and team for an amazing night! read more

What a great experience! I came here with a group of 19 colleagues for a team building event. Our group was split into two teams at five and two teams are four. Two stayed out to be judges. Each group was provided a mystery box of chicken thighs, and mahi-mahi for protein. We also had broccoli, orange, marmalade, rosemary, and black beans. We all had fun, laughing along with Tre. He is hilarious! The meal he and the other chefs prepared for us, was also delicious. Free-flowing, fun and laughter! Would definitely recommend this venue for other team building events. read more

We had a corporate team building event with 20 people at Tre's and every single person thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Lots of smiles, laughs and delicious food was enjoyed. The cooking competition lasted 38 minutes from start to finish, which is not much time to complete 2 unique dishes, but it was so much fun and Tre helped the teams that were stuck or struggling. I was the judge of the competition and the food was surprisingly good that my colleagues prepared (except for the undercooked shrimp that Tre shielded me from). The dinner and dessert that Tre served were delicious and perfectly portioned. We brought our own drinks and Tre's staff provided the stemware and served them. After dessert, Tre gave his assessment of every single competitor in the cooking challenge and was surprisingly spot on for each and every person. It was extremely entertaining. Tre also, unexpectedly, had a photo booth set up for us to use, which was a nice addition. I will be telling other groups at my company about the experience and would love to participate in another event at Tre's. read more

I was not at the teambuilding event but planned it. The day after, the group could not stop raving about how fun it was. Very unexpected. Dinner was superb. Others want to do this in the future. Tre accommodated everyone with special requirements. They were worried about feeling awkward, but the were some of the first people that let me know how wonderful the experience was. read more

My employer arranged a team outing at Tre Cooking Concepts, it was a lot of fun! We split up in teams and had a cook off. They gave us a handful of mandatory ingredients and you had to cook two different dishes but use all the ingredients and no googling for recipes, the point is that you have to be creative as a team. We had to come up with different dishes using pork loin filets, I thought they came out pretty good even though we didn't win. Chef Tre was there and very involved which made it fun. He told some stories, joked around, tried some of your food etc. After all the teams were done, he graded the dishes based on creativity, flavor and presentation. The other teams could sample whatever food was left. We also had a lunch included which included shrimp with grits appetizer. This dish was awesome, great flavor and just enough heat and the shrimp had good flavor and was cooked perfectly. They also served a chicken dish which was good and had macarons and assorted cupcakes as dessert. Everyone loved the outing. They also have special nights where couples can cook different types of cuisines and other types of events. read more

Highly recommend Tre's Cooking Concepts. We hosted a team-building event for our group there and it was amazing! Tre was hilarious, a great coach while overseeing the teams' cooking skills and a borderline comedian when it came to judging them afterwards. The food was excellent, and his team took great care of us. We'll have to come back for a rematch! read more

5 Stars - Tre was so engaging and fun. It definitely felt liked a Chopped Competition that made for a great team builder. He says "I'm just a chef", but his read on people and how they interacts and adds value to a team was spot on!! We were all proud of our plates and then he made an amazing dinner for us to enjoy!!! Great job Tre and thanks for a great time with coworkers. read more

This was by far the best team building experience I have had. I have hosted 100s of these and Tre knocked it out of the park. The team (40 people) still talks about their experience and are already planning how to win when we come back next year. His energy, attention to detail and presentation skills at the end were the icing on the cake. 100% recommend this for anyone looking for something out of the box and an unforgettable experience. read more

What an amazing night! Tre was great to work with from contract process until the last team member left the event. We did a 12-person chopped competition, followed by a 3-course meal. The competition was lively and dinner was delicious! Our leaders had so much fun; they were still talking about it a few days following. Tre is a warm/fun personality with a great laugh, to boot. He was accommodating to all of the dietary needs within the group and made the entire process painless and so.much.fun! Everyone simply enjoyed it - best team building event we've done so far. Worth every penny. Take your team! You won't regret it!! read more

Incredible venue pulled off an amazing team event. Very satisfied with the attention of the staff and love the guiding help of Tre Wilcox, entrepreneur and owner. My team had amazing experience and I would gladly lick him again. Great job! read more

This was an awesome experience. I've been a fan of Tre Wilcox for years, and my dining/cooking partner is a REAL fan, having followed his career through all of its incarnations. The venue is substantially a large room with beautiful dining tables and hightop chairs, and four cooking stations featuring gas ranges, lots of counter space and all necessary tools/hardware/spices/foods. The package that we selected features an ingredient that the meal will center around (ours was hatch chiles), and either Tre or one of his other chefs will accompany the participants in groups of four at the workstations. A meal is prepared with guidance and some participation by the chef, but they like to really show the participants how to do it, and not do it for them. Our chef, Brendan, showed us tips on knife technique, chicken thigh preparation and a host of other tidbits as we went about preparing our meals. After preparation, the participants head to the tables and feast upon the fruits of their labor. Our meal was fantastic, and quite frankly, would have probably cost between a 1/3 and half of the cost of the class, so you're really getting a great meal with a modest premium for getting to have the experience and the chef's know-how to help. We didn't use recipes, and a lot of the teaching involved learning how to cook like that. All of the ingredients were fresh and delicious, and made fantastic final dishes. We had participants with all levels of experience in cooking, and the class accommodates this very well. We got to speak with and visit the chefs as well as Tre himself for quite a while - they basically had to kick us out when it was time to go! In short, this was a fantastic experience and I can highly recommend it. Tre and his staff are top notch and strive to make it a fun evening for everyone. read more

Chef Tre did a fantastic job cooking for our group, including many children. Every course was beyond expectation. He provided an experience that will not be forgotten by any of our guests. Chef Tre put together a menu we were thrilled with from the shrimp and slider appetizers to the filet mignon entree, with sides that were perfectly matched. His risotto is legendary by the way! Chef Tre is full of personality, very professional and extremely comfortable running the show in the kitchen during events. He arrived with plenty of time to prep and was friendly with all of our guests throughout the evening who approached him. His server did a wonderful job as well and was very polished and extremely helpful with set up and take down. If you are looking for someone exceptional to cater your next event, do not hesitate to contact Chef Tre. We look forward to seeing him again very soon! read more

Our management team recently had an excellent team experience here. We had 15 in our group and everyone felt this was the best team building activity we have done. Tre provides coaching throughout and does well to link the experience to leadership thinking. I would recommend this activity to any team. We competed and enjoyed seeing/tasting what each team creates. read more

My wife and I were invited to an event held at Tre Wilcox Cooking Concepts in Plano. We really didn't know what to expect except that we were helping prepare our own dinner along with 30 or so other folks. We had an absolute blast helping to cook and prepare the food under chef Tre's guidance! He divided everyone into teams and we all prepared different foods for dinner. It was great to work with others in a team concept, but the end result was absolutely delicious! The filet, green beans, and mashed potatoes were the best I have had. Highly recommend Tre and his team to learn some great culinary skills either as a single,couples or a group! read more

Tre and his team catered an event at our home for over 100 people. The planning was a breeze, they showed up with everything they would need and left our house cleaner than they found it! Our guests absolutely raved about the food, it was unusual and delicious without being stuffy or pretentious. Tre's infectious laugh and pure joy of cooking made the entire evening fun for all and if he was bothered by guests hovering and peppering him with questions while he was trying to cook, he sure didn't show it. He even let our nephew help out and be a sous chef for the night and took pictures with any uber fan that asked like our star struck foodie niece. We couldn't have asked for a better all around experience, beginning to end, food to staff--guests are still raving! read more

I recently had the chance to help plan a corporate team event at Tre Cooking Concepts and it was such a hit! I had several people come up to me after the event and tell me how much fun they had and how they enjoyed something that's different than the 'typical' team building events. We have some pretty competitive people on our team so we knew that the "Chopped Challenge" would be perfect for our team. We had over 30 people come and we divided into four teams. We were given 40 minutes to cook two dishes consisting of the proteins given, along with two other 'mandatory' ingredients. There was also a 'pantry' of basic ingredients for us to use (things like spices, milk, flour, etc). We had to work together to divvy up kitchen duties (non-cookers like me chopped and plated while those who are a bit more savvy in the kitchen ended up manning the stove tops) and it was so much fun (and often surprising) to discover who the in group had fancy techniques up their sleeves! After the competition, Chef Tre and his team judged the dishes while we enjoyed a terrific lunch (of food that was NOT prepared by us, ha!)-- we had salad, pork, cheese grits, roasted veggies, sliders, and fried chicken. All of it was delicious! After the judges were done, Chef Tre did a great job of going through each team's dishes, highlight successes and offering advice on how to correct mistakes that were made. The winning team even got a really nice prize. While the event itself was a lot of fun, the team at Tre Cooking Concepts really brought it home. Chef Tre has a big personality and was so much fun. He talked to all of us throughout the event and was really personable. Kenny, the Sales Director, was fantastic to work with from start to finish. I communicated with him throughout the process and he was always super friendly and responsive, no matter it if was via email, telephone, or in person. There's already another group from our company hosting an event at TCC next month and I will definitely continue to recommend this venue for team events! read more

We had the most amazing cooking and team building experience. We were split into 4 groups and had a cook-off challenge. We were given a mystery basket and 35 minutes to come up w dishes just like on the cooking shows! It was so much fun and everyone had a great time. Tre prepared an incredible lunch for us while they judged our final dishes. I'd recommend it for team building, birthdays, couple events and anything else! Tre was incredibly friendly and hospitable. There's nothing else like it in Dallas! read more

My Leadership class had lunch and did a cooking challenge here. Our lunch was served first and was fantastic. We had the honor of Trey actually being present. We had 4 teams and had to determine what we could make using the provided ingredients. Very similar to "Cut throat kitchen" on TV. It was a BLAST!! Trey was present and was checking in on each team. His energy was infectious to each team. If you are looking for a event venue to host something formal, fun or a date night I would give them a call. They offer cooking classes on their calendar as well as renting the space. read more

An amazing experience! As our first team building experience (in cooking competition format), Tre really set the bar high. From his accommodating last minute changes to our group size, running an incredible cooking contest and finishing with some amazing food (not prepared by our team), the evening was fun and unique. We started with some light appetizers and drinks, followed by a 32 minute cooking challenge in teams of two. After the competition Tre tried all the dishes (poor Tre) and tallied the score, which was reveled after a delicious dinner. Winners went home with bragging rights and a few select champion gifts. Most importantly it brought our team closer together. I would recommend working with Tre to anyone, hands down, event though my team did not win. read more

Tre is the BEST! We invited Tre and his Sioux chef Brandon (aka Canada) over to help us celebrate our parent's 25th wedding anniversary at their home in downtown Dallas. He hosted a private cooking class in my parent's kitchen - and we ate ALL THE FOODS! Every course was amazing and probably the most delicious food I have had ever. After we sat down to eat each course, we could not wait to get back in the kitchen to watch / "help" with the next course. The whole night was perfect and we all had a blast. Tre is a great teacher and his passion for the culinary arts is very evident. We can't wait to cook with Tre again. read more

We had our department's quarterly fun event here, and it was a blast. Tre is very friendly over the phone and in person, and he put together an excellent and luxurious event. I've heard highly praising feedback from my team, and I recommend hosting an event here to anyone looking for an atypical but memorable experience. read more

Chef Tre Wilcox recently catered a special meal for our family and some dear friends. The meal was amazing with not only gorgeous flavors but also beautiful presentation! Tre worked me with to create a special menu and was very patient when we adjusted a course just a few days prior to the event. He's easy to work with, communicates quickly and is very professional. He's also super fun and has terrific energy! Tre made our event spectacular. We can't wait to work with Chef Tre again the future. read more

What a great evening! We had such a great teaming event here. The event space is modern, awesome and clean. The staff was so very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The team competition between colleagues made it especially fun. You never realize how competitive some colleagues really are when put to the test. Much heckling, spying and sharing of ideas. The ultimate teaming effort. At the end, Tre cooked an amazing dinner. He's an amazing chef, but an equally great entertainer. His personality is icing on the cake! read more

My interaction was part of a organizational event. The staff was welcoming to us when we arrived early. They were very attentive and kept a highly responsive stance the entire night. The cooking experience was not just fun, we learned a few things as Tre's staff mingled with our staff. I was most impressed by their ability to recognize personalities in a short period of time. I suggest giving this a shot. read more
