Had a fun experience at kitchen social. It’s definitely more of a “social” experience than learning to cook tho. Instructor was fun and outgoing. We made Indian food but the chicken was pre cooked and cubed ahead of time. I was really looking forward to cooking the chicken for the dish. Class was scheduled for…

Thai night was a disaster. We were served a sour peanut sauce. When doing summer rolls, we were instructed to put top ramen seasoning on the noodles, ingredients we were given were yellow and wilted.

Chef Bri was THUHBOMB! We brought a bottle of wine and she had the most gourmet salad waiting for us made from the gods. Great experience and Bri was a joy to listen to. It’s such a fun date night and we’re recreating the crab cakes tomorrow night. Thanks Bri, and well done Kitchen Social we had a BALL!

So entertaining and great at teaching. She answered all the questions from the group and made sure everyone was having a fun time. The food itself was also delicious. Sometimes with these experiences you don’t get the meal with the class but this food was incredible as well. Super high quality. Definitely make sure to bring your drinks!!

We made Indian food but the chicken was pre cooked and cubed ahead of time. I was really looking forward to cooking the chicken for the dish. Class was scheduled for 6:30-9 but we were done by 8:30 so there was time to cook the chicken in class. Other than that, the recipes were good and it was an enjoyable evening.

We had such a fun experience! Bri was our teacher and she was a huge part in making the night so much fun. I wasn’t expecting to walk away with actual skills gained, but I learned so much! And the food…. Oh my gosh delicious. We had mussels, crab cakes, lobster stuffed potatoes, crab hush puppies and peach cobbler ice cream. Went with my little sister and the entire night was the perfect combination of relaxed and engaging! I will be back!
