"What is a banh mi?" For those not in the know, this is the sandwich of all sandwiches for spicy food lovers. A banh mi is a Vietnamese-inspired sandwich made from pickled veggies, cilantro, jalapenos and various meats (we will use pork) piled on a French baguette slathered with sriracha-mayo.

FAQs

Is this a demo or hands-on cooking class? This is a DEMO class, so, sit back, enjoy the demo and eat! For our demo classes we will be limiting the number of participants. We will sit one per table, or you may purchase a double ticket and share the table with your guest (each participant will receive all materials and full servings of food).

What are the safety protocols being taken?

• We are closely following all guidelines from the CDC and local public health officials. Given the rapidly changing nature of the pandemic, all policies and procedures are subject to change.

• All attendees will be required to wear masks. Masks must cover both nose and mouth. You can remove your mask briefly while tasting and dining, of course!

• We are restricting class size to allow for social distancing and better air circulation. Classes may fill up faster than usual, so please add your name to the waitlist. If there is enough interest, we will add additional classes.

How can I sign up? Class sign-ups are available online only.

Should I eat a snack before class? There is plenty of food served in each class, but depending on what type of class it is will determine when we eat. If you are hungry and it will be a while before we eat, you are always welcome to bring a small snack. Water and soda water are provided at each class. Classes offering alcohol are identified as such.
