The 24 Ingredient Experience | Luxury Waterfront Dining

24 ingredients. Six courses. Your choices. An immersive evening of chef-crafted cuisine, curated drinks, floral design, and photography. THE 24 INGREDIENT EXPERIENCE 24 ingredients. Six courses. Your choices. One unforgettable evening. What happens when eight guests control the ingredients, but the chef controls the kitchen? Welcome to The 24 Ingredient Experience, an exclusive, interactive six-course culinary adventure hosted by Chef Bobby Scheve of THE BE@CHCOMBER. Eight guests. One team. Twenty-four ingredients. Six extraordinary courses. Together, you'll make the decisions that shape the evening's menu. Every selection matters, every ingredient counts, and no two experiences will ever be the same. HOW THE EXPERIENCE WORKS The evening begins with 24 carefully curated ingredients displayed for everyone to see. Before each course, all eight guests collaborate to select exactly four ingredients from the remaining collection. There are no restrictions on combinations. Choose four proteins, four vegetables, or a combination nobody saw coming. Once an ingredient is used, it's gone for the rest of the evening. Chef Bobby transforms your four selections into a beautifully presented course, using his culinary expertise and supporting pantry. The challenge continues through six courses until all 24 ingredients have been used. The choices you make early in the evening determine what remains for the final courses. TWO TWISTS. ONE CHANCE EACH. Throughout the evening, your team holds two special cards. Each can be played only once during the entire experience. CHEF'S CHOICE Trust the chef. Allow Chef Bobby to select one of the four ingredients for an upcoming course from the remaining available ingredients. THE SWITCH Second thoughts? Exchange one of your selected ingredients for another available ingredient. Your original selection returns to the pool. Both cards must be played before cooking begins for the affected course. Use them wisely. Once played, they're gone. WHAT YOUR EVENING INCLUDES Six chef-crafted courses inspired by your selections from 24 curated ingredients. A thoughtfully paired beverage experience featuring alcoholic selections and nonalcoholic alternatives. Beautifully designed fresh floral centerpieces by Andrea enhance the evening's tablescape. Every guest will take home their own floral arrangement as a special reminder of the evening. In addition, each guest will receive a personalized engraved glass, with their choice of a whiskey glass or wine glass, to commemorate the experience. Every guest receives a professional photograph capturing a special moment from the evening. Couples may choose to be photographed together, with each guest receiving their own copy. Every guest receives a personalized six-course menu signed by Chef Bobby Scheve, commemorating the unique culinary experience they helped create. An intimate atmosphere designed for conversation, connection, and culinary discovery.
