Ramen: Spotlight on Tonkatsu

I hate to leave a bad rating but this is an expensive class and I do not feel it is worth the price. Not only did we not cook anything, we didn't really learn much either. The class starts off with the instructor telling us personal anecdotes for an hour with very few ramen or cooking facts peppered in, followed by the students chopping an excessive amount of ramen toppings for way too long (and peeling about 2 dozen hard boiled eggs - I hate to say it, but it felt more like we were helping the restaurant prep than participating in a hands on cooking class). Once that's over we were lined up to put what we want in our ramen in a pot to be heated up. The "ramen broths" were premade by the instructor and not all that appetizing but also not particularly reminiscent to ramen. Instead of ramen bowls we were handed extremely shallow bowls, overflowing with our assembly line ramen, that we did not in fact cook. Overall, extremely disappointed, and not any closer to knowing how to make ramen than I was before the class.

Chef Abby and her team were incredibly accommodating and friendly in addition to being excellent instructors. Would definitely return in the future for another class.
