Past Partners & Clients


We joined Eddie's class as a private group of 7 for our work offsite. We loved every minute of the experience. Eddie's knowledge is unsurpassed, and he was welcoming and patient as we learned the trade. Food was delicious, space was comfortable, and, it was a ton of fun! Will be back for sure.

Had a great team building session with Eddie. The class was a perfect balance of informative, educational and fun. The food was excellent - highly recommend the additional lunch dishes and Eddie is a really interesting and nice guy to chat with. Would highly recommend a session with him.

I organized this for a team building activity for a group of software engineers, and they LOVED the experience! Eddie was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great host! Will definitely be sending more teams here in the future. 10/10 rec!

Please note the rescheduling / cancellation policy requires changes 7 days before the session. The experience is fully refundable 7 days before the experience date. You are welcome to transfer your seats to others at any time before the experience starts. Rescheduling within 7 days of the event incurs an additional charge of $30 per person. Rescheduling requests will not be accommodated with less than 24 hours notice. Unfortunately, no exceptions can be made to this policy: Preparation for the experience starts several days in advance, and these policies help to partially offset the loss of ingredients and labor that cannot be recouped so close to the reservation.
