Chef GiGi and JT absolutely blew us away with their incredible Italian and Creole fusion meal! They came to my home and prepared a delicious three-course dinner that was nothing short of amazing. The flavors were rich, unique, and beautifully balanced—every bite was better than the last. It was myself and two friends, and we all had such a fun, memorable evening. GiGi and JT weren’t just fantastic chefs; they had great personalities and were so easy to talk to. We truly enjoyed chatting with them throughout the evening. Their energy and passion for what they do made the night even more special. Highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for a unique and flavorful private dining experience/cooking class. We had a blast!

This was a fun date night and highly recommend for any fun night to go out on. We learned to make gnocchi. Chef Legina was very insightful and showed us how easy it was to make meals like this.

We enjoyed the sushi making class immensely! Very delicious! It was entertaining and educational! We would definitely take a cooking class from both or either of these chefs again!!
