When guests think about Epic Axe Throwing, they often picture exciting tournaments, handcrafted cocktails, friendly competition, and unforgettable team-building experiences.
What many guests don’t see is the person working behind the scenes to create one of the most talked-about parts of every event: the food.
Meet Chef Javier, the culinary force behind Epic Axe Throwing’s corporate catering program.
With more than 10 years of culinary experience spanning three countries, Chef Javier brings passion, creativity, and attention to detail to every event he serves.
Whether he’s preparing food for a small executive gathering or a 180-person corporate celebration, his goal remains the same: create memorable meals that bring people together.
From Venezuela to Spain to the United States
Chef Javier’s culinary journey began in Venezuela, where his passion for food first developed.
Driven by a desire to become a successful chef and expand his culinary knowledge, he later moved to Spain to immerse himself in one of the world’s most respected culinary cultures.
During his time in Spain, Javier worked in a high-end restaurant environment where he refined his techniques, learned new cooking styles, and developed a deeper appreciation for presentation, flavor combinations, and guest experience.
After gaining valuable experience in Europe, he decided to continue his journey in the United States, eager to explore American culinary traditions and further expand his skills.
Today, that international experience influences every menu he creates at Epic Axe Throwing.
More Than 10 Years of Culinary Experience
Over the past decade, Chef Javier has prepared meals for a wide variety of guests, events, and occasions.
His experience includes:
- Corporate Team-Building Events
- Convention Groups
- Holiday Parties
- Company Celebrations
- Executive Gatherings
- Large-Scale Private Events
From intimate gatherings to events with nearly 200 attendees, Chef Javier understands how to deliver quality food while maintaining consistency, presentation, and service.
Why Chef Javier Loves Working at Epic Axe Throwing
Unlike a traditional restaurant, every event at Epic Axe Throwing is different.
One week may involve a corporate team-building event for 25 guests. The next may be a private venue buyout for 180 attendees flying in from across the country.
For Javier, that variety is what makes the job exciting.
He enjoys the challenge of creating unique experiences for every group and working closely with organizers to design menus that fit the personality and goals of each event.
Because Epic Axe Throwing hosts a large number of corporate events throughout the year, he has the opportunity to continually create new menu ideas and bring fresh concepts to each gathering.
Creating Custom Menus for Corporate Events
One of Chef Javier’s specialties is designing custom menus tailored to each event.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, he works closely with event organizers to understand their vision and create food experiences that complement the event.
Popular menu styles include:
- American Buffets
- Italian Buffets
- BBQ Menus
- Taco Bars
- Charcuterie Displays
- Appetizer Stations
- Dessert Stations
- Custom Corporate Menus
This flexibility allows companies to create a unique experience that reflects their team and event goals.

Plastpro’s 180-person corporate event
Coordinating food service for a group of this size requires careful planning, preparation, timing, and execution.
For Chef Javier, success isn’t just about preparing great food. It’s about ensuring every guest receives a consistent experience from the first plate served to the last.
More Than Cooking
Many guests see the finished buffet but don’t see everything that happens behind the scenes.
Chef Javier oversees:
- Menu Development
- Food Preparation
- Presentation
- Event Setup
- Service Timing
- Dietary Accommodations
- Coordination with Event Organizers
This attention to detail helps ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish.
For large corporate groups, reliability is just as important as great food.
Why Guests Keep Talking About the Food
One thing we consistently hear from event organizers is how surprised they are by the quality of the food.
Many guests arrive expecting a fun axe throwing experience and leave talking about both the event and the catering.
From beautifully presented charcuterie displays to freshly prepared buffet stations, Chef Javier’s food has become an important part of what makes Epic Axe Throwing events unique.
The feedback is consistently positive, and many returning corporate clients specifically ask about catering options when planning future events.

A Passion for Creating Memorable Experiences

Whether it’s watching attendees return for a second helping, hearing positive feedback from organizers, or seeing a room full of people enjoying themselves, those moments are what motivate him every day.
