**HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT**
New Bern Cooking Classes HAS DECIDED ON AND LOCKED UP A LOCATION!!! Classes will be held at BrÜtopia Brewing in James City!! They will be the 2nd and the 4th Sunday moving forward. The time will be 2p-4p.

Spaces are very limited (6 couples or 12 individuals) so I URGE you to Sign up ASAP by either commenting on this post, calling me (Chef Jay Romano) directly at (401)347-9185 or come visit my Food Truck Gigis Snack Shack this Friday July 3rd from 5-8p at BrÜtopia.

Here are some more details.
Download the sign up sheet, fill it out, and get it back to me, Read and Sign the Liability/Waiver Form (Coming Soon), choose which Sunday you would like, show up, get ready to learn some amazing techniques and have fun.

Just an FYI, The Beginner Class is $160 per couple or $80 per person. That will need to be paid in full up front BUT, there is a 2-week cancellation clause. Which means if you cancel two weeks prior to the class you will get ALL of your money back! If you cancel day of or no call no show there will be no refund because I will have already purchased everything needed. That will include all supplies, all products and a brand new knife set to leave with. Unfortunately, I will not be letting people sign up for the Advanced Class until I know their skill level due to safety concerns.

Thank y'all so much and let's get ready to have some fun!!!

Please read everything before asking questions.

Hi everybody, thank you so much for the outpouring of messages and comments. New Bern really does want/need this!!

Here is some information that you will have to think about and give me an answer to. 😊😊
What is your skill level?
Why do you want to take my cooking class?
What are you hoping to learn from my cooking class?
What type of cuisine do you prefer to learn?
Will you be taking my cooking class as a couple or as a single?

I have attached the actual sign up sheet and flyers Thanks to Sandy Schulz Ingram-Realtor . I need you to print out the sign up sheet, fill out all the information and send it to me through private message, text at 401-347-9185 or email it to me at [email protected]. Or, stop by my food truck Gigis Snack Shack , drop it off to me personally so we can introduce ourselves And I can answer any questions you have.

I am booking right now for beginner classes (I need to know your skill level)! Our first beginner class is fully booked already. I am now booking for the second and third classes. The cost (Beginner Class) is $160 per couple or $80 per person.
I WILL be providing all utensils, all food needed, induction burners, saute pans, knives, etc... All you need to do is Sign up, show up, be ready to learn some amazing techniques and have some fun while doing it!!! AND You get to leave with a brand new set of REAL Knives!! (PICTURED BELOW).

Here is the structured plan. You sign up for the class, you pay for the class and then you come take the class. ("Cancellation policy is in effect")!! There is a 10-day cancellation clause that will be in the liability form. (And, yes you will have to sign a liability form for me and the location where the classes will be held at). We cannot be held responsible if you do not know how to hold a knife, choose the Advanced Class and then cut your hand off!

If you cancel within 10 days of the class you will get **ALL** of your money back. If you "No Call No Show" or call 5 minutes before class starts there will be no refund because I have already bought the supplies/food needed.

The classes will be held on Sundays. The time will be 2-4p. The location will be at 1 of 2 places. The community center or a local brewery.

To summarize, print out the sign up sheet, fill it out, get it back to me and you will be on my master list. I know that does not answer every single question every single person has but it is a start.

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! I am extremely excited to get 32 years worth of cooking knowledge out of my head.
