I took the pasta workshop at The Chopping Block and had a great time. The class was hands-on, from making the pasta from scratch to rolling it out, cooking it and eating it. Chef Joey Hahn was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us about knife skills and cooking techniques. The dishes we made were delicious and there were tons to take home after.

Had a blast last night at the Knife Skills class! This was my boyfriend and I's first time at the Chopping Block and we already can't wait to go back!
There were a total of 11 people in our class and two instructors. I felt like everyone got their share of attention and never felt like I had to wait for instruction or help. Although you aren't actually cooking anything, I would highly recommend taking this class, it is a good starting point for those out there wanting to enhance your cooking techniques.
I did love that we were able to take our veggies home and will be making a minestrone soup with ours tonight! -

Cooking, drinks, shopping, fun, food and a great team building experience! Come here every year for a team building experience with my coworkers! We always end up having a blast! Food we cook is great and you always have several options. I'm a pretty advanced on my cooking skills so I don't learn much, but I'm pretty sure others do! Who doesn't enjoy good wine, friends and cooking? Don't forget to check out the shop afterwards! Always end up with cool cooking items!

While I haven't taken any classes yet, I went in trying to buy my first big boy chef's knife. My "Chef's knife" from target wasn't cutting it anymore...literally. Having walked by the store a few times in the past, I never actually went in. When I walked through the door, the atmosphere was very energetic (it seemed a Thanksgiving Workshop had just ended). The store design is very warm and inviting.
Since I cook with the equivalent of caveman/cheap cookware, I felt like a fish out of water. The staff was very attentive immediately. They answered all my questions and let me try about 7 different knives. They showed me basic chopping technique, and not once was I pressured into buying anything. I went in looking for a basic entry level knife, but after the demoing everything, ended up leaving with a Shun Classic Chef's Knife. 1000% happy with the purchase.
Also, I happened to walk in on a customer appreciation event, so there were further discounts applied.
All in all, I would come back in a heartbeat. Currently I'm looking towards the Knive Skills class and trying to gather some friends to take this.
