Chef Mike was AWESOME! He prepared a delicious meal for our bachelorette party, and we all loved him. He was very knowledgeable and taught us some interesting tidbits about the ingredients he used. Mike was funny, entertaining, and a good hang. 10/10 would recommend you to hire Mike for an educational and enjoyable cooking class experience!
