The kitchen host did a great job walking us through each recipe, showing us how to cut the veggies, mixing ingredients and cooking everything at the end. The entire evening took about 2.5 hours and we walked home with plenty of leftovers and they emailed us the recipes too. Highly recommend.

My only criticism was that the young girls leading the party were pretty low energy and it was so quiet in there. I think the overall experience would have been better if the gals leading were a bit more engaging with the kids and maybe some music was playing in the background. The pretzel was good though, and my daughter had fun!

As my 2 toddlers and baby are walking into to our car, a driver comes flying in off Metcalf and stops right before he's about to potentially hit us. This is one of many, many super unsafe moments from this one week alone trying to get acres to and away for the establishment. It's so incredibly dangerous. My toddlers cried and panicked bc they and myself thought we were just about to get mowed down. It would have been less scary for them if at least this weirdo didn't roll down his window and yell at us pedestrians which consisted of a mother, a baby on a baby stroller and two tiny toddlers. They cried and were once an again scared bc this deranged individual took time to act a fool after the fact. Real shame. Parking is unsafe this is just one of many instances so I'm sharing this since, bc it will mark our last time going here. Too dangerous. Almost needed up as splatter.

Don't let your predisposition against gluten-free stop you from going, it's awesome, being g-f is just a bonus for me.

Sadly, this experience wasn't as good as the others. I ordered food, pastries and coffee and spent…read more$83. My pastries came out fast and the food followed, however, my drinks never came. So I went to the bar and no one said a word to me although I'm standing right there. I asked for help and I was stared at as if I were speaking a different language. I advised the young lady I was waiting on a brewed coffee and an iced matcha latte she said ok and asked for my receipt, then said someone will bring it to me. I told her I was waiting but whoever brought my food took my number. So she said she'll take care of it. I waited 10 minutes and another young lady (pixie cut) came to me and asked what I needed, I told her I was waiting on 2 drinks and showed her my receipt. She apologized, but had no idea what was going on. So I waited again, she brings out my drinks in a holder cuz my hands were full. I get to the car and the brewed coffee is literally cold and not sweet (I asked for 3 Splendas and 2 creams, it was also on my receipt). So I bring it back in and I'm ignored again by 2 workers just standing there making small talk. After getting her attention, I advised her the coffee was cold. She pours me another cup then sets it down aggressively. I asked for cream and sugar and at this point, her face said, I pretty much sh*tted on her day. She pours half & half into a creamer glass and slides it to me. I then ask for Splenda, she said, it's over there. However, it's Stevia, so I asked for regular sugar and she said we don't carry that. Had I known they don't carry Splenda and/or regular sugar I would not have ordered a regular brewed coffee.I remove the lid and of course the coffee will s just lukewarm. I just add cream and grab some raw brown sugar and leave. I was too aggravated to go full Karen cuz at that point my attitude was worse than the young lady making drinks that day. The steak sandwich was a huge pass for me. The bread was like a wet brick with about 6 slices of steak on it. The bread to meat ratio was totally off and not worth it. On a positive note... The iced Matcha latte, pastries and the sweet potato fries were amazing. Next time I'm in KC, I'll have to find a new GF place to patronize.

My husband and I paid the fees, completed the training, and became Kansas City Barbeque Society…read more(KCBS) Certified Barbeque Judges over twelve years ago. We were certified to judge the following meat categories: chicken, ribs, pork, and brisket and evaluate the various meats in three different criteria: taste, appearance, and texture. You can also be a "Certified Table Captain," although I think it was called something else at the time we got KCBS certified. The Table Captain, at that time, was responsible for "plating and presentation" of the meats, which really is an important competition component. The KCBS dates back to 1985, wow, that's 40 years! Why so few stars? This is an expensive hobby in my opinion! The annual fees, costs of travel (gas, wear and tear on your vehicle), accommodations and meals, time off work to attend/travel, and the fact you are a volunteer (receive no compensation) is excessive. Also, the opportunities to judge a contest (anywhere in the United States, although it is an international society) are claimed so quickly it is nearly impossible to get a judging slot! My former coworker and 15 year Master Certified KCBS Judge, Carl, smartly "pre gamed" his KCBS judging calendar with his buddy! They signed up/applied ASAP for the events they wanted to judge, got approval to take personal leave if work days were affected, split all transportation and accommodation costs, and took turns driving to each event. Although the KCBS judges cannot fraternize with the competition teams prior to judging, I'm sure Carl enjoyed hanging out with his friends' competition and/or backyard/shade tree teams after judging. For guys like Carl, this is a fun hobby he can enjoy with his buddy and buddies that likely enriches his own personal barbequing experiences!

Walking into Hemma Hemma, you feel welcomed in it's cozy, inviting space. The restaurant is…read morebeautifully decorated and it is apparent that consideration for the home-y vibe went into every aspect of the design of the space. The restaurant is not massive so I would recommend a reservation if you can, or you may end up needing to wait for a table (they only do dinner reservations). One thing I would want to mention is the tables are a bit close together making it a little awkward when you're getting up. We had to move our table to let the folks sitting next to us in and then again when we were leaving. I couldn't wait to try the Filthy Martini, a spring specialty cocktail, which contains both pickle AND olive juice + pickle stuffed olives and a salt and pepper rim. It was just exactly what I wanted and would come back solely for the cocktail. For dinner, I had the Yoshoku Beef Curry and it was delicious. The meat was so savory and the runny egg was a perfect add. Strongly recommend if you like Japanese curry. We cannot wait to come back to try brunch and we are also looking forward to their Dinette location downtown opening on the weekends to give that spot a try as well.

Great local find.

My first thought upon entering was "where are the bread cubes, how am I supposed to taste oils &…read morevinegars without bread cubes?" And then I learned. Oh boy did I learn! I saw a woman pour a little bit of vinegar into a little paper cup and sip it straight, so in true monkey-see-monkey-do fashion I did the same. My first taste was the White Peach Balsamic. Forget everything you know about balsamic vinegar, stuff this good is on a different plane of existence altogether. Wow! So syrupy and brightly flavored I now understood the glaring lack of bread cubes. Who needs them? The White Peach was like jam. I was instantly thinking of pouring it over ice cream, or ... ? It turned my world upside down. My budget permitted a purchase of just one bottle this trip, but you can rest assured I will be coming back to add to my collection. If you're curious, I chose the Lime Jalepeno Balsamic as my first bottle. All I add is a little oil, salt & pepper and I have a salad dressing that knocks my socks off!

The cooperage is where the owner (Doug) makes barrels, buckets, kegs and churns. This guy is VERY talented and some of his things have been used in movies and across the country! (not many people can say that!) He even demonstrates his craft in Branson at Silver Dollar City's Harvest Festival. Then there is the store which is attached to the cooperage. This is where Doug's wife operates an adorable shop full of locally made crafts, home decor, jewelry, candles, utensils, framed art, and much more. There are many seasonally appropriate decorations to adorn your home here as well. The best part? Well... that's hard to put a finger on. It could be that what you purchase here goes back into the local economy. It could be the great conversation you're bound to have with the owners. It could be watching Doug create a masterpiece. Head on down to the old Corbin Mil area of downtown and find this gem of a place! Enjoy!
