Jordan was fantastic! The whole experience felt very wholesome. Jordans demeanor is very soft and gentle and helps rid the environment of any sort of judgement/stress when learning new things. He is also very well spoken and taught us the fundamentals very well. He is very knowledgeable and we learned alot. I would highly recommend Jordans class. The only negative thing I have to say is that the kitchen used (specifically for my class - Union Kitchen in NE DC) is pretty rundown.

This was such a good time! Chef Jordan was knowledgeable, patient, and really good at breaking the ice with the group to foster a more relaxed feel. He made this experience so fun with little stories, hands on experience, and even a competition at the end. We ended up with so much sushi to share between us and it was actually really tasty! You will learn the proper way to cut meat and vegetables, how to make sauces, rice, and tempura batter, and different ways to roll the sushi. I cannot recommend this class or Chef Jordan enough!
