All I can say is WOW!! Chef Jalen was amazing! The food was so good (better than any restaurant I ever have eaten at). He was very knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and kind. We definitely will be doing this again. Thank you so much! Sharon Dillard

We absolutely loved cooking with Chef Jalen! He was so kind and such an excellent cook. We told him ahead of time that some of us were gluten free and he went above and beyond to accommodate us! I honestly was not expecting for him to adapt every aspect of the meal, but he did and I was able to eat it all! It meant so much to me. We had great conversation and made delicious food. It was so fun! Would highly recommend taking a cooking class from Chef Jalen in the future.
