One of the best date experiences I've ever had. Chef did a great job making the novice chefs in the roof feel comfortable and provided an atmosphere that allowed us to make fast friends with the other couples in the class. The food was great, the recipe was simple, and the overall experience was well worth the 3 hour drive.

Chef Dan's excellent cooking skills combined with his 'make you feel comfortable' personality made this class fun, informative, and delicious! He is a patient instructor who understands the skill level of the people he is working with and adjusts accordingly. We had a fun anniversary date night enjoying to learn how to prepare and cook scrumptious Vietnamese dishes!
