This cooking class, unfortunately, didn't quite hit the mark for me or my friends. The biggest surprise was that it didn't really feel like a cooking class at all. My friends and I didn't get to do any actual cooking, nor did we feel like we learned anything new from Chef Austin. Beyond that, there were a few logistical problems that made the whole experience less than desirable. - Not enough space: The class felt cramped, making it difficult to prep and move around. - Too loud: The class was in a noisy bar with loud music which is a terrible atmosphere in which to take a class. - Not enough instructions: There were little to no instructions given, I think we should have just read the recipe he handed out instead of listening to Chef Austin. - Not enough ingredients: We even ran out of basic ingredients like flour halfway through, which was a bit surprising. And after they bought more they were hesitant to share them with the guests! - Not enough stoves: The gnocchi was being cooked one serving at a time on a single Coleman grill, which made for a painfully slow cooking process. In the end, we agreed the class had little-to-no guidance, not enough ingredients to complete our meal, and no realistic way to finish cooking before the class ended. Therefore, my friends and I took our raw pasta home to finish cooking it ourselves, which wasn't quite what we signed up for. While the idea of the class was great, the execution was abysmal. For the sake of future attendees, I really hope Chef Austin makes some changes to his cooking class before he tries teaching again.

Such fun! Never thought I could make pasta but it turned our great and something I want to attempt again at home, Venue was a bit tight/crowded (Back corner of a bar) but still made it work. Same experience with a bit more room would be next level!
