5 Stars for Chef David!
Chef David was great - interactive, fun, and provided lots of info. Totally kept the team engaged. The venue was a bit lackluster - with little ambiance. Would be great if this class was offered in an environment that matched the food and chef!
Overall, we had a lot of fun and it was great for team building!
Highly recommend!

I attended a cooking class with Chef David. It was an awesome experience. Helping him prep, watching him plate things so beautifully, trying to replicate it, it was a good learning experience. He prepared some yummy dishes for us. Never knew warm salads could taste so good . Brussel sprouts are my favorite now. He patiently took us through each course. Would do any class with him again.

Katie
19 Dec 2018
David was great but the set up fell short of our expectations and quality for the amount we were spending on the event. We had to use camping stoves, there was no place to sit and eat our meals together , and very little cooking instructions so the event felt not well put together. Maybe soemthing you would expect for a $50/head person not $150.
