An Interactive Culinary Experience Benefiting the Sandy Springs Foundation

Invite your clients, colleagues, or team to an unforgettable evening where food, entertainment, and philanthropy come together. Hosted in the Studio Theatre at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center, this one-of-a-kind event features a four-course interactive dining experience led by Executive Chef Karl Elliott where guests don’t just watch the action, they become part of it.

Seated at tables of eight, attendees will work in pairs to prepare each course themselves, guided by Chef Elliott and his team, with curated wine pairings enhancing every dish. Large screens throughout the space ensure every participant has a front-row view of demonstrations and instructions, creating a seamless blend of hands-on engagement and theatrical presentation—culminating in a spectacular, show-stopping dessert flambé finale.

This event attracts an engaged audience of business leaders, community influencers, arts supporters, corporate teams, and both emerging and established donors—offering sponsors meaningful visibility and the opportunity to align with a dynamic, high-quality experience that supports the Sandy Springs Foundation’s mission.

We are especially pleased to partner with Chef Elissa Oliver and her Culinary Arts students from Riverwood International Charter School, bringing the talent and creativity of Sandy Springs’ next generation of culinary professionals to Cooking for the Performing Arts.
