    Chef Max was an awesome, personable teacher. Concepts and techniques covered were major, great hands-on experience, and learned a lot. Support staff was great, too, and I felt treated like royalty. While some of the recipes were wonderful, some did not thrill, otherwise class would have been perfect. (I don't believe Chef Max chose the recipes.) I've been taking classes at Chopping Block for years and they are a first rate cooking school.
