Menu- birria tacos, corn & pablano tamales, chocolate cake, mocktail.
Chef Craig was awesome, 5 stars for him and his crew!!! I had so much fun and plan to come back for sushi class!! My favorite-the chocolate cake!! It was really good, and shockingly I couldn’t taste the chili seasoning in it at all!! I got to stir the butter into the chocolate chips as it melted- someone else added other stuff. It turned into a chocolate soufflé!!
The reason for only 3 stars is that my expectations were not met in the “learning how to cook†this meal. The way there are teams assigned and each menu item is broken down into tasks that are assigned to some individuals while others are working on other tasks meant we all missed quite a bit of what was happening. There was a secret sauce one person was making while I was working on the tamale batter with a mixer. No one knew what I was doing really, and while I was pouring liquids and powders into the tamale batter bowl- I don’t know what anyone else was doing. In some ways, having everything pre-measured is helpful. But, I really didn’t know what I was adding and mixing or how much or why the whole time. In fact, the bowl disappeared then was returned with something added just before we divided it between the teams to start on the tortillas. Like, more flour or something, maybe? I think I messed up the batch and it went to the back
