The food was fantastic!...

The food was fantastic! My wife and I truly enjoyed the demonstration and learned a lot about New Orleans in the process. Chef T is truly outstanding and in addition to telling great stories, she can whip up a mean Crawfish Étouffée

An amazing experience....

An amazing experience. Our cook Vivian provided a great demonstration and educated us on not only New Orleans cooking but on the culture as well. Would definitely come back again.

Wish I would have done this sooner

I wish I would have done this sooner! I travel to NOLA every two years and this was one of the best things I've done. I learned so much about cooking in general and then we got to eat the final product! Everything was delicious! The chef was hilarious and extremely knowledgable. It was so much fun and I took home all the seasonings so I can make traditional NOLA dishes at home.
