Their menu changes daily so that the students and faculty don't have to worry about getting tired of the same food. In addition to the rotational menu items, they also have a carving station, a grill, a salad bar, a pasta station and homemade soups. Entrees start at 3.75 and go up to 5.50 if you order 2 sides. This place is well worth the money.

7/27/25 Zach…read moresurprised me with a ramen cooking class at The Story of Ramen. I lovvvve ramen (and noodles in general) so I was ecstatic for this experience. The Story of Ramen is located in the Mission so parking was a little tricky. We got to the general area 20 minutes before so that we could get a decent parking spot. We did the 4 hour advanced workshop where we learned about how to prepare the broth, marinated eggs, chasiu pork, tare seasoning and how to make the ramen. For that day, there were 5 other pairs. Our teachers Manville and Jeff, guided us through every step of the arduous process of making the perfect bowl of ramen. The workshop started off with a lecture about the history of ramen and the creation of The Story of Ramen. Of all the tasks we did, my favorite was making the ramen itself. After learning in detail how much work goes into making ramen, I appreciate ramen more than I ever did before. This was a great team building activity and something new for us. I highly recommend this and of course you get to eat the bowl of ramen you make at the end of the workshop!

My workplace had a virtual kimchi making event hosted by Kelly at McVicker Pickles. Kelly was super…read morenice and really patient (I kept asking her to repeat herself because I was slow lol). My finished product was over-salted but definitely had that sourness characteristic of kimchi. It was really cool to see the bubbles forming in the jar which is the bacteria working its magic :) Not bad for my first try, my homemade kimchi can only get better from here. I took off a star because I wish she asked us to do some of the prep work beforehand because I'm pretty slow at chopping/peeling so I fell behind during the event. But overall, great learning experience and it was my first foray into the world of pickling/fermenting!

McVicker Pickles are insanely delicious, and I don't even like pickles! (Shhhh . . . don't tell my…read morepickle-loving father. He'd be crushed.) My personal fave are the rosemary heirloom carrots. MmmmMMMMM. She also makes this ridiculously decadent bacon jam that is good on basically everything. Kelly was kind/ingenious enough to come up with a custom blueberry bourbon BBQ sauce for my BBQ-obsessed husband (he's from KC but lives in LA now, where good BBQ is at a complete deficit). It was so delicious, we decided to commission a huge batch of it as party-favors for our wedding! She chose darling little jars and even helped to adhere a sweet label to our liking, and our guests continue to tell us how yummy the sauce was. And apparently it is REALLY good on turkey burgers. I've yet to take one of Kelly's classes, but I hear they are the bee's knees. Go get your pickle on, San Franciscans!

She was amazing, easy to follow her instructions, she knew what she was doing!! Started with some herb education which made things come together in my head.

My wife and I took a cooking class with Douglas last night to celebrate our anniversary. We…read moreattended a class that had 6 people; all good friends of ours. Everyone attending had different levels of cooking skills, and all of us walked away with insightful learnings! Douglas taught us everything from essential kitchen tools to own; the importance and techniques of toasting spices; how to stage and time the preparation of an incredible dinner menu; how to prepare and cook restaurant worthy meats, and more! As a group, we were involved in all stages of cooking an incredible meal: pork tenderloin with peppered apples, creamy mashed potatoes, brocolini, green salad, and ginger cake with caramel sauce. With the wine that we all brought, this was an amazing feast! If you are looking to improve your cooking and entertaining skills, one of Douglas's cooking classes is a must attend! In less than 24 hours, I have spoken to numerous friends about this, and everyone wants to check out his classes now. This is a win-win for everyone; the idea of hosting an incredible dinner party is no longer an intimidating thought -- Douglas, you will be seeing us again! Thanks for a great class.

Douglas is a very knowledgeable and laid-back chef who can easily move between instruction, casual conversation, and describing the intricacies of why it's always best to do this or that in the kitchen. Plus the others who cooked/dined with us were a lively bunch we're glad to have met! I would highly recommend working with Douglas in any capacity, maybe even as a birthday gift as was my experience ;-)

In an effort to eat healthier and lose weight, I went looking for a personal chef in San Francisco…read more Actually, this being SF, I went to all those on-demand startups like Sprig and Thistle, but I found they didn't really fit well for me: if you don't like the food, tough luck! Then I found Brigitte and White Apron. Brigitte's sent me a great intake questionnaire that went through what I liked, what I didn't--down to specific foods and ingredients. Brigitte and Collin then created meals catered to my tastes and calorie goals (paleo, ~700 calories/meal). Every week, I'd send in feedback on that week's food and we'd tweak things further (eg, cook asparagus in a certain way, no on specific spices, etc). Such a far cry from the on-demand food startups! The thing I loved the most about White Apron is the personal attention I got from the chefs about my likes, dislikes, and suggestions. They're extremely receptive to everything and crafted meals just for my tastes. If you're looking for a personal chef in San Francisco, I highly recommend White Apron.

Brigitte made a simple but well seasoned salad of fresh organic veggies and mixed herbs. This was complimented by a hearty, soul-warming lamb curry. I was delighted by her take on the curry. The meat was fork-tender and the spices were complex and savory but not overwhelming. We finished up with a playful make-your-own sundae and relaxed with happy full bellies. I'd have Brigitte over to cook for me any time!

This sort of thing is…read moreway out of my comfort zone but I was seriously struggling with the relationship I had with myself. I was not mentally, emotionally or physically well. All the mental health treatment I was going through just wasn't enough. I learned by working with Ajinder the significance of gut health, daily hydration, exercise, meditation, sleep hygiene and even cycle syncing. Before working with her, I would have prided myself in most of those aspects and my knowledge of them, but she helped me put the pieces together to help them make sense and actually work together. Most importantly, she did it all in a manner that made me stick to these habits. Now, nearly 4 months since my last session, I can proudly say I've kept up with all my goals. I wish I could shout from the rooftops how amazing this woman is! It's also worth mentioning that i live on the opposite side of the country as her so for anyone hesitant to do virtual or phone visits, she made it work, even with the time difference. I am so glad I took the leap and did this for myself because it was the foundation I so desperately needed to build my new "me".
