TLTH Culinary Challenge | Iron Chef-style competition

The TLTH Culinary Challenge

Six kitchens. Six teams. Sixty competitors. One Gold Pan.

Bring a date, come with friends, or arrive ready to meet someone new. At The Luxury Tree House, you’ll join a team of ten for an evening of cooking, conversation, and friendly competition with Chef Robbie.

Meet your teammates, settle into your kitchen, and choose chicken, steak, or shrimp. You’ll work together to create an entrée and two sides, sharing ideas, dividing the cooking, and finding out who stays calm when the clock starts counting down.

Chef Robbie explains the rules and reveals the secret ingredient. Your team gets ten minutes to plan, followed by sixty minutes to cook in a fully equipped kitchen with professional luxury appliances.

Then it’s time to face the judges. Taste, creativity, presentation, and teamwork all count toward the Gold Pan.

After judging, gather around your kitchen counter and enjoy the meal you made together. Compare dishes, trade stories with the other teams, and celebrate the winners. You cook it. You compete with it. And yes—you eat it.

Standard competitor · $175 plus fees and tax

Your place on a team includes challenge ingredients, kitchen equipment, Chef Robbie’s briefing, judging, an apron if needed, beverages, and the meal your team prepares.

Premium competitor · $225 plus fees and tax

Everything in Standard, plus one Power Up of your choice. For fifty dollars more, choose your advantage on arrival—from specialty equipment and personal chef guidance to an extra minute for your entire team.

Food table head start. Get thirty seconds of early access to select ingredients before everyone else. You alone enter early and bring your selections back to your kitchen.

Specialty equipment. Choose one available specialty appliance, such as a blender, food processor, stand mixer, or immersion blender. You control when and how it is used.

Extra equipment. Claim one additional piece of standard equipment, such as a sauté pan, cutting board, saucepan, or mixing bowl, to keep your cooking moving.

Specialty food bonus. Make one additional selection from the Specialty Food Table. Choose an ingredient that gives your dish another direction.

The final minute. Give your entire team sixty additional seconds after time is called. Everyone on your team can keep cooking, plating, and adding those final touches.

Cleanup help. Direct five minutes of staff assistance to wash dishes, clear clutter, and reset your workspace while you keep cooking. This assistance covers cleanup only.

Chef catch-up. Get five minutes with Chef Robbie for help with flavor, technique, timing, seasoning, or recovering from a mistake. He can teach, demonstrate, and troubleshoot while you remain responsible for cooking your dish.

Each team has five Standard and five Premium places. Every Premium guest chooses one Power Up at check-in.

Bring your favorite apron, or use one of ours. Beverages are included.
