Was very excited for this but the execution was not great. The host didn’t seem like she knew what was going on when explaining what we were supposed to do. The chef didn’t introduce himself or give very much guidance. There was a lot of waiting. A lot. They went group to group but you would have to wait until he got all the way to your group so we just stood there watching other groups. Was fun to do but had way bigger expectations than what happened.
