Doing our part to be as safe & sanitary as possible.

The health and well-being of our team and guests has always been, and continues to be, our number one priority. We are taking additional steps during our cooking classes to protect our staff and our guests.

  • Heightened sanitation and hand washing.

  • all staff outfitted in facial coverings

  • Team members devoted to full time cleaning and sanitation of all high contact areas (door handles, tables, restrooms, etc.)

While we have modified our operations, we will continue to monitor the situation closely and follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as local and U.S. Government officials, to quickly adapt and take the appropriate precautions.

Have a seat.

Seating will be family-style.
