BRAAI OLYMPICS - A TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY DESIGNED BY CHRIS FORREST
What is the Braai Olympics?
How it works:
Where did the Braai Olympics start?
Chris Forrest, comedian and winner of Celebrity Masterchef South Africa, created the Braai Olympics as a modern alternative to the traditional old favourite “Potjie Competition”. Chris facilitates the team building activity using his knowledge from Masterchef combined with years worth of MC experience, to make sure everything goes off without a hitch and everyone is
thoroughly entertained throughout the experience
What is the Braai Olympics?
The Braai Olympics is a unique way of celebrating our South African heritage while simultaneously breaking the ice between delegates, allowing them to show off their skills and enjoy themselves. By making sure that each individual is allocated a task, the Braai Olympics ensures no one is leh out. Thereby guaranteeing teamwork as a result of everyone working together towards an end goal.
How it works:
Delegates will be split up into teams of 5 to 7, they will be told to choose a team name and assign each member a number from 1 to 5 (or to the total number of team members if the team exceeds 5), once this is done they will receive a list of five tasks, each of which will follow on from each other. The team member whose number corresponds with the task number has to complete said task. Most of the tasks rely on time and skill, but in the end the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy creating tasty food. All tasks require the support of fellow teammates.
The winner in each category will be allocated 10 points, second place 9 points, third place 8 points and so on, so that everyone is awarded some points. Aher all tasks are completed the points are tallied up and the team with the most points is crowned the the Braai Olympics Champions. Judging of the food takes place on two levels. First, purely on taste directly aher the food has been prepared( a trick learnt from Masterchef). Presentation is then done and judged aher the food has been tasted.
CHEF CHRIS FORREST - COMEDY COOKING DEMO AND COOK-A-LONG
Most people know Chris Forrest as one of SA’s top comedians, however, many don’t know that he is also a qualified Chef.
Chris’ culinary journey stared in 2014 when, as a well know South African comedian, he was asked to take part in Celebrity Masterchef South Africa, although he had little to no knowledge of cooking at the time, he entered anyway. To his, and other’s surprise he has a talent for it, and ended up winning the competition, beating Patricia Lewis in the final.
This awakened a passion inside of him for making great food. He has since spent time working with, and learning from some of SA’s top chefs, first and foremost, Pete Goffe Wood (with whom he has also toured a cooking comedy stage show, both locally and internationally) but also the likes of Arnold Tanzer, Trevor Boyd (Manager of the SA culinary Olympic team), The late, Les Da Chef aka Lesego Semenya , Sasha Zambetti, Benny Msekwameng, Stephen Billingham, amongst others. He has recently decided to get an official qualification, which he completed at the HTA school of Culinary Arts and their international partner City Guilds, at the end of September this year.
As a result, he has become an in demand “Celebrity Chef” being invited to do cooking demo’s and MC alongside Chefs all over the country at almost all the big festivals including DSTV delicious, Fire and Feast, Taste, Taste of Jo’burg, Decorex, Coffee and Chocolate, sharing stages with first and foremost, Pete Goffe Wood (with whom he has also toured a cooking comedy stage show, both locally and internationally) Arnold Tanzer, Trevor Boyd (Manager of the SA culinary Olympic team for whom he is the resident MC and taste tester), The late, Les Da Chef aka Lesego Semenya , Sasha Zambetti, Benny Msekwameng, Stephen Billingham, Siba Mtongana, Kamini Pather, David Higgs, Jenny Morris, Reuben Riffel, and Justin Bonello.
