Booked the class Classic Steakhouse Dishes with Chef Chris in West Palm Beach
I chose the class because Chef Chris had a five star rating. He was not the chef. I felt that the venue was overcrowded. The room may just have been too small for what they attempted to do. The chef “Caesar†had previously prepared the crème brûlée and demonstrated how to burn the sugar with a torch. It could have possibly been for safety reasons since he was dealing with a flammable device in a room full of people. Most of the hands-on learning was chopping herbs, boiling pasta, grating cheese, and putting salt and pepper on the meat. Many of the people there had taken classes before which gave it a club. Several couples had brought their own wine and were willing to share with others. It was more of a social event than a cooking class in my opinion since the shift did 50% of the work. In case it was enjoyable, but it was not structured enough to be considered a true cooking class.. Afterwards, dinner was served in another room and we got to sit down together as if we were in a restaurant. This was enjoyable as other local cooking classes I have been to in Florida didn’t provide you with the ability to sit down and eat at a table. I would definitely go to another class, but would only hope that it wasn’t so crowded. Now I know what to expect.
