Chef required my mom and I to pay an additional $146 (beyond our prepaid $210 multi-course class purchased through La Vacanza Travel) before he let us leave his house. When asked about this surprise, undefined "upgrade", Chef Alex explained he doesn't get the full revenue from La Vacanza Travel. Shakedown Chef has great cooking skills, but his business, communication and people skills could use an upgrade.

An amazing evening, and experience in the company of a great Chef and entertaining raconteur. This is a cooking class, so one learns to cook something. Our main course was a Chicken dish, rolled and wrapped with mushroom and fennel sausage. We learnt how to prep and cook, and then we ate the meal. Our option included an appetizer and dessert, but one can opt for just an Entree. Chef Alex' wife, Amy, was there to greet us and then we had Alex to ourselves. The evening was fun, educational and works well in small or large groups. I would definitely recommend this as an 'event' for St. Augustine and we will do it again, and certainly will take friends.

Chef Alex hosted half a dozen folks in his beautiful where he showed off a classic French multicourse dinner. We were each able to contribute and learn some wonderful tips on creating it chemistry to make for a terrific future dining experience. Alex is funny, tasteful, and full of life. You’ll enjoy the evening!

We had a such wonderful evening in our first cooking class with Chef AlexG that we went back for a second class. The Chef creates a lively and friendly atmosphere with his deliciously informative hands-on cooking lessons that end with a seated dinner of our carefully crafted menu.
