Building Block Series
An intense six-month series providing one of the city's most comprehensive
nonprofessional culinary training programs. Students can either
take individual classes to sharpen certain skills, or they can
complete the entire series for complete culinary proficiency. This series
is created for both novices who need a "crash course" to
learn all the basics, as well as for professionals seeking to hone
and enhance their knowledge. Click here for more info.
Corkage Fee
The Chopping Block provides you with a hand-picked list of food friendly wines to enjoy during your class, as well as a small selection of craft beers. If however, you have a special bottle that you would like to bring, please keep in mind that a $10 per bottle of wine and $5 per six pack of beer corkage fee will be applied to your class fee.
