This class was a gift to my wife as we just celebrated out 35th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the class. The steps were easy to follow, and the food was delicious. We now can bring some fun Ramen making back to our family of 4 kids, who absolutely love Ramen. The downside was the size of the class. It was a bit crowded at the tables, and it felt like instructing that many people got a bit chaotic. Other than that, my wife and I had a fun time.

French Quarter -- Dirty Rice, Jambalaya, popcorn shrimp and bananas foster. It was fun, a little crowded and chaotic... recommend a smaller group -- class had 16 people. Took 30 minutes to find parking... Would do it again -- but not at Scottsdale Quarter.
