The Pad Thai Table: A Chef-Guided Experience

Description

Due to limited seating, this class can only accept bookings of 2 or more. If you are booking your class as a group please make the reservation under one name, as a full booking group.

Escape to the streets of Thailand as we create one of the most famous Thai classics, Pad Thai!

In this fun and hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step by our Chef Instructor in recreating this classic dish with the most authentic flavors and techniques. You will learn basic knife skills, how to properly prepare the traditional noodles, cook your shrimp (the vegetarian option is without shrimp), and how to build the flavor profile of an authentic Pad Thai sauce from scratch! You will learn to plate, garnish and then enjoy eating your beautiful plate of food.  Gain insight on how to source fresh, seasonal ingredients and specialty items in order to recreate the perfect Pad Thai again at home.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don't already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class.   Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in.  Classes are intended for adults 18+. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price, however guests 21+ are invited to BYOB (beer, wine, and champagne only). There is a parking lot located on the south side of the building where the entrance is located, parking is approved and permitted on evenings of our classes!

Please note that late arrivals will not be admitted and the venue doors will automatically lock 15 minutes after the start time of class and chef will not be able to open doors as they are already in progress. Please contact customer service to assist with your booking if you arrive late at hello@cocusocial.com

Meet your chef instructor

Chef Airon relocated from California to Chicago to refine his craft under some of the country’s most respected chefs. Classically trained with a diverse culinary background, he has developed a deep appreciation for global cuisines, including mastering multiple approaches to preparing Pad Thai—each rooted in tradition and respectful of the dish’s heritage.

Known for his approachable teaching style, Chef Airon focuses on simplifying techniques and emphasizing the “why” behind each step, rather than having students follow instructions without understanding. While his demeanor is lighthearted and engaging, he is deeply committed to ensuring his students leave with both the skills they came to learn and an enjoyable, memorable experience.
