Brandon prepared a private dinner for a special event at my shop and it could not have gone better. Brandon was easy to work with in designing the menu and planning the event. He was thoroughly prepared for the event and everything went smoothly.

Food was outstanding - everyone in the office loved it. They were on time, organized and just perfect. It could not have been better and we will have them back again. Never had better gumbo!!!!

Brandon provided an excellent evening for our family. He arrived on time well prepared and was full of information to share with our group. He was prepared to let us participate as much or as little in the process as we desired. The meal was excellent and fun at the same time. I would certainly recommend Brandon's services.

My siblings and I had Brandon come do a cooking class for us when we were visiting New Orleans over the holidays. He was outstanding from start to finish. He was very easy to get in touch with and was quick to respond. He worked with us on what we would like to cook, taking the time to inquire on any dietary restrictions, and offering up possibilities. We settled on a fairly traditional New Orleans type fare with a gumbo, blackened red fish, and espresso beignets. We paid for a three hour cooking lesson, but Brandon went above and beyond coming early for setup and staying over an hour after answering questions and ensuring everything was cleaned up. He was very personable and knowledgeable on everything he was cooking and even prepared personalized handouts with the menu, recipes, etc. He was very professional and did a great job of instructing us and then taking over when we wanted to eat. As for the food, I couldn't give it higher reviews. Everything prepared was absolutely amazing. My whole family raved about how flavorful the grits were, how it was the best gumbo they've ever had, how the fish was perfectly cooked, etc. It may have been a bit too good since I took a nap as soon as the lesson was over! My siblings and I enjoyed the lesson so much they made a special trip out to Brandon and his wife's popup restaurant, Splendid Pig a few days later just to enjoy some more of Brandon's cooking. They said everything was superb there as well (unfortunately I wasn't able to make this trip since I had overindulged a bit the night before in classic New Orleans fashion). I couldn't give Brandon a higher rating. The value was incredible, especially for the individualized attention. The food was delicious, and the overall experience was just what we had hoped for. I would highly recommend Brandon's lessons and a visit to the Splendid Pig next time you're in NOLA!
