We were treated to a sumptuous Southern Cuisine meal which we helped prepare as we learned some great food preparation tips. Chef Mike's affable and approachable demeanor set the tone for a thoroughly enjoyable experience and his culinary proficiency was top notch!

We highly recommend "Food Fire + Knives" and look forward to having another opportunity to engage their services!”-Beth G.

“Amazing food for one night, lots of fun and a lifetime of better food....what's not to like! But more important than my new found cooking style was Mike's ability to make us laugh. Not sure if it was Mike's stories or our cooking skills, but we were laughing and having fun all night. My cooking is much better but the best part of the night was the memorable experience Mike created for my friends and I.”-Charlie M
