Scotty was engaging and attentive. He demonstrated great care and passion for cuisine while guiding us through the evening. We would love to come back again!

We had a great time! It was a lot of fun, as well as informative. I leaned a few things! The food was DELICIOUS, and Chef Scotty walked us through each step. I'd definitely take a class with him again.

Chef Scotty was very knowledgeable, attentive and funny. We appreciated that his version of Orange Chicken was not deep fried. We would attend again!
P.S. the only downside is we didn’t receive an email with the recipe of Orange Chicken sauce he made!

Chef Scotty was great! He was very knowledgeable and personable. I liked how all the ingredients were laid out and ready to use. The recipe was very easy and incredibly tasty.

Super fun experience. Mom and I have tried to make orange chicken our self's and it never really turned out right. Here we learned the right way to do it, ingredients and how to prepare and cook. Super helpful that Scotty came to our tables to help one on one. My only complaint is that in the venue, the bar area of Duck foot beer, can get a little hard to hear with all the bar goers talking over things, but that not Scotty's fault. I like the brewery venue, maybe in a back room or a quiet Coner, some separation from the hot spot of the bar. Overall great fun experience, would recommend and take another class. Thanks Chef Scotty.
