Chef Jimmy was great however the venue was poor. Most cooking classes you are more involved and can see and hear the chef as they cook. Didn’t feel very sanitary in the middle of a brewery. Table was too short and hurt the back. Chairs were a joke. I do not feel the class was worth the money at all.

Chef Jimmy did an excellent job teaching us how to make Dim Sum Dumplings. The venue was sub par as it was in the back of a brewery and did not have proper work surfaces and seemed unclean. Jimmy did the best he could do with the area he had to work with.
