I started my hospitality career in 1992 as a prep cook in New Orleans in the French Quarter at the world renowned Cajun and Creole restaurant, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen. I later moved to Seattle to work with Tom Douglas at his second restaurant, a Pike Place Market favorite, Etta’s Seafood. During my formal chef training at the Seattle Central College culinary program, I worked as a server and room service manager in the elegant, European style Sorrento Hotel in their fabulous restaurant, the Hunt Club. Upon graduation, I went on to work for celebrity chef, Sabrina Tinsley, (Chopped, Iron Chef), at her exquisite Seattle restaurant, Osteria la Spiga. For the past 18 years, I have done freelance catering around Seattle and raised two kids.

We did not know what to expect, as this experience was purchased for us as a gift. We had a wonderful time! Chef Sam was immediately welcoming and friendly. He had all sorts of stories to tell. It was informative to watch him prepare the sauces, then we did our best with making the pasta. Although he did say it directly, it was clear that Chef Sam enjoys cooking and that he was having a good time interacting with his class. We would definitely recommend this experience to others!

Super fun experience! Would’ve like to have known there were going to be snacks before as we were starving and trying to find somewhere to frantically eat before. We also would’ve liked a bit of direction on how the eating was going to go during the event. Seems like people who have done it before waited till the end to cook their food and asked for to go containers and didn’t want to share their food whereas we just assumed it was a share and eat there type of scenario because the options weren’t explained. Now we know for the next time! All in all it was really fun and we would love to do another!

Sam was such a wonderful, informative, friendly instructor! You can feel the passion he has for teaching others how to cook and take the skills you’ve learned back home. We loved chatting with him about Greenwood restaurants and can’t wait to try his suggestions. Good luck in all your future endeavors, Sam! — Jordan and Tommy
