The class was quite chaotic. The chef arrived 29 minutes late to a venue that was not conducive to a cooking class. And, was not set up. The idea of cooking in a brewery sounded really fun. But, it was really more of a very small dive bar. The area for the class was very small. The chef had to bring 6ft tables, all food, all utensils, hot plates for cooking, etc. The number of people in the class was too large (16) for the space. 10 people would have been a more reasonable number, Some people had to sit outside and we had to cook in shifts. It was hard to learn and hear the chef in the environment. This class was more akin to learning to cook at a camp site than a real cooking class. Trying to cook in the small space and eating off of paper plates wasn’t worth the price of the class.

Had an amazing time. One thing to note is we thought the class size could have been a little smaller. Overall amazing experience though.
