Jesse was fun. Our meal was great and he took the tip to answer any questions we had and give out good pointers on cutting and how to avoid mistakes with our fried rice

The evening was great. My girlfriend and I both learned new things about cooking. Neither of us are big cooks, but we now want to cook more often. Chef Jesse made it a fun evening and the food was excellent. We’ll be attending additional classes.
