We drove from Shreveport to New Orleans and Chef Vivian was not there for my 12 noon class. I had 4 other excited people with me to take the class. I was embarrassed because I had booked this class for us. Disappointed because it didn’t happen. I got confirmation I was booked and received no notice that she would not be there. A long drive for nothing! ?
