Richard Blais Speaking Topics
Chef, restaurateur, and television personality Richard Blais is bringing the holidays to life with "SAUCE LIFE LIVE" — a fast-paced, interactive culinary experience inspired by his new book, "Sauce Life."
Part cooking demo. Part comedy show. Part team-building experience. And very Blais.
Over 30 high-energy minutes, Richard gets guests laughing, tasting and into the action as he puts his decidedly unconventional spin on the holiday table:
- Roast Beast with Horseradish Ranch — a holiday centerpiece with a creamy, zesty kick
- Potatoes with Salsa Verde — crispy, comforting and punched up with a bright herb sauce
- Foie Gras & Candy Cane — because, well… Richard Blais
- Sticky Miso Figgy Toffee Pudding — a rich, caramelized Blais spin on a holiday classic
It’s designed as a memorable centerpiece for a corporate holiday party, client event, incentive program, retreat, or year-end celebration — combining food, entertainment, and interaction in one very Blais package.

Richard was spectacular. We had some tech difficulties (video wall with his presentation did not work at first) and he handled it like a pro. He also really connects with the audience. Thank you so much for making this a success!
