My department is comprised of all remote workers, so we usually only see each other in virtual meetings. Just shy of 40 people broke up into 4 teams to cook 4 separate dishes from veggie to dessert. We had such a great time! I always send out a survey to my team regarding the annual event and every bit of feedback I received regarding the Iron Chef Experience was 100% positive! The experience was well organized, well managed, and in a great facility. All of the food was amazing and I feel some great bonds were formed across all areas of my department. I would highly recommend these guys for whatever level of event you are looking into.

We made a delicious salad dressing, chicken Florentine, ratatouille, and flaming cherries jubilee, to pour on top of a decadent Bobby Boy's Bakery chocolate cake! Everything was delicious.

All who attended felt like we learned some tricks, were well fed, and made a new friend!

I chose to start with this favorite where I love the food, and consider several of the folks here to be friends, including Sachin who handles the floor during the lunch period, probably more. The chef and on site partner is also a very nice person, when he is in the kitchen, you get the best! My choices on this festive visit were long time favorites - Gobi Manchurian and Novratan Korma, and with Garlic Naan. The food was excellent as usual. I came to eat and enjoy, to wish these great folks a great New Year, and simply to say thanks!

It had been awhile since I stopped in to the Carving Board, and I just happened to be hungry around the Thruway area the other day, so I decided I wanted a reuben. Now, I have a very established place for my favorite reuben in the whole Triad, and that is O'Briens. But this place definitely comes in a close shave behind. Order one here and you're gonna get a PILE of meat, sauerkraut based on your preference, the thousand island dressing and on tasty rye bread. What better? One of the best part of the Carving Board is their side selection. You can get just something to go with your sandwich, or go bigger to have some for later. There is a lot available, and all made in house. Their cold sesame noodles are a favorite of mine, so I got a pint of them so I'd have some for home too. In general, I would say don't miss this place, kind of a Winston-Salem institution.

We started with the beet salad and calamari. The beet salad was nice. It was tossed in the vinaigrette and had two different types of beets. The calamari was fried well and was a good portion. The filet was cooked medium and sitting in Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. The Brussel sprouts were expertly prepared and tasted amazing with the bite of filet and mashed potatoes. The Grilled Chicken Orecchiette was flavorful and tasty. I think the noddles were a bit strange for this dish. The meal tasted great and the noodles were cooked well but I just wasn't sure if I would have chose these noodles to go with this dish. The restaurant was backed though so people do seem to like it.

The setup is simple: get in the single file line, look over the menu overhead while moving forward, and then place your order. The staff at the counter was very pleasant and quick to answer any questions we had. I went with the quarter chicken (dark meat) paired with the sweet potato fries and corn salad. Available beverages range from speciality fruit beverages, to bottled water, to Pepsi brand fountain drinks and of course, sweet/unsweet tea. I opted to go with just plain water. I was then given a number to place on the table of my choosing and wait for my order to be delivered. The dining room appeared clean with lots of seating. The music was a little loud for my taste, but it was probably the concrete floors and open ceilings that were more to blame for that. There is an adjoining glass window patio section that's much quieter, but it's not climate-controlled and it was pretty humid on the day of our visit, so we stayed in the main dining room and picked a table in the back. Our entrees came out in a timely fashion, and everything looked great. The chicken was moist and very tasty. The sweet potato fries could have been a little crispier in my opinion, but they tasted great. The corn salad was very refreshing. One of the staff came by to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. Kudos for that follow-up. Viva Chicken is definitely on our "must return" list.

I get two sides with the chicken, so I asked for double sweet potato fries. The last few times I've been in there, it was less than half of the portion of sweet potato fries. At first, I thought perhaps the kitchen was thinking it was only one side? So this time I asked the cashier about it. She told me she'd make sure that I got the proper portion of fries. The photo depicts what I found when I opened the box. Sadly, this will be my last time at Viva Chicken.
