Chef Jerry was an excellent host. We did our session with another lovely couple who were also a delight to be around. The session was at Chef Jerry's house and personal kitchen, and we were greeted with already prepped ingredients. We were initially hesitant about the session being only 1.5 hours long, but Chef Jerry was very efficient in the kitchen and multitasked everything so that even dinner was included in that 1.5 hour length. While we would have wanted the session to be even more hands on (having each person with their own kitchen station and cook their meal vs more of a demo with participants helping with prep), we highly appreciated Chef Jerry's in depth knowledge of the meals made, including a secret sauce that was able to be utilized for 3 separate dishes without it tasting the same in the end. We were also surprised to have additional menu items instead of just what's advertised, as Chef Jerry was indeed very generous with his time and resources. He also sent us the recipe afterwards which we also appreciated. Overall, the session was definitely a highlight of our trip down to NOLA!

Chef Jerry was amazing! The food was terrific and we all left feeling like we wanted to try making these dishes on our own. He was prepared when we arrived, and one thing we were all impressed with was just how quickly he worked through each of the dishes. I would definitely recommend Chef Jerry to anyone!

Tasty food and delightful chef! Would have preferred more hands on and real beignets instead of fried store bought puff pastry covered in powdered sugar, but still learned quite a bit in a relaxed, welcoming night.

Chef Jerry was amazing! He was very laid back, his kitchen was clean, & the food was great. He was even kind enough to send me his recipe’s and I’ve already made them for my husband here at home. Thank you for the best meal we’ve ever had in New Orleans, & moreover thank you for your service in the military.

When in New Orleans I always recommend exploring through taste, and this experience did exactly that and more. Chef Jerry absolutely provides "An Authentic Taste of Louisiana" with his curated menu with easy tips to recreate the selections at home. Come hungry and get ready to enjoy one of the best dining experiences you'll have in town! I highly recommend it.
