I recently attended an event (about 30 people) at Hudson Table in Williamsburg, and it was such a fun, memorable experience. The setup was perfect for a group interactive, well-organized, and engaging from start to finish. We made paella together, with mussels and chicken, and it turned out absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the instructors did a great job guiding everyone so even those who don't usually cook felt comfortable participating. For dessert, we had churros, which were the perfect sweet ending crispy, warm, and really satisfying. The chocolate tip had a touch of cayenne pepper! Overall, it was a fantastic group activity and a great way to bring people together. Highly recommend for team events, celebrations, or just something different to do with friends!

My sister and I came here for the chef's competition and it was so much fun. I was the first person to arrive (15 mins early) and the staff said she can't seat me yet so I went to the restroom. When I came out she had seated two other people who got a better view which did upset me since I was the first to arrive. She comped me a drink and said we get to get out of our seats which was true. The experience was phenomenal. The chefs were fun and entertaining. They did their best to engage with all the guests though the ones that seat at the kitchen have more engagement. The food was amazing - come hungry because it's full size appetizer, entree and dessert - times two! We had a sheet to review and score the meals. We get to rate and choose a chef at the end and we do all go around the table to give our review. This was such a blast!

I wouldn't say that the chef competitions were super difficult to get tickets to. If you book in advance, usually there's a good amount of spots available. I was super excited for this chef competition! I enjoy watching cooking shows and now I can finally taste the food like the judges. It was a nice set up with counter seating and table seating. You can openly view the chefs cooking and preparing the meals as expected of a chef competition experience. The staff were friendly and interactive to a degree. I think it helps to be more extroverted because if you don't initiate interaction, they don't really interact that much. It's a unique experience of being a judge and seeing two chefs compete. I haven't seen this type of experience elsewhere. Before experiencing I thought $150 per person was a decent price given you are provided two 3-course meals and you have the whole unique experience of chef competing. Reading through reviews, I expected larger portions. Reality was (at least for my one experience) the portion sizes were smaller than average. I would say a regular 3 course menu I get at another restaurant would be a bigger portion and probably for a lower price point. I was also disappointed at the quality of the food. The food was average to good at best. Nothing blew my mind, there's stuff that was good! But there was also stuff that was just average. I guess that's the nature of the chef competition. I think I was definitely expecting a higher quality of food. Don't get me wrong though, I definitely tasted some unique and creative bites that were delicious! It was fascinating to see how quick they adjusted and their ideas that they came up with. I understand, it was a chef competition and I'm there to experience chefs competing using mystery ingredients within a constricted time frame so the quality of food might not be a good representation of their actual abilities. But I can't help but think of in real cooking competitions, the quality of your food and the tastiness is still being judged. They are also under the same rigorous expectations but still have a delicious outcome. Overall: I am still happy I got to experience the chef competition and I do encourage people to experience it for themselves. The concept is incredibly fun. My friends enjoyed themselves so perhaps the food just didn't suit my taste. I think it'll be a one time experience for me.

My boyfriend and I made a reservation for Sunday brunch. It is also easy to find street parking at this time. We had Chefs Christina and Chef Chris. I can't remember the sous chefs names, but they were all amazing including the hostess and the staff. They explained how the competition work. The chefs were given 30 min each to complete an appetizer, an entree and a dessert using the mystery ingredients. I highly recommend you to secure first row seats, so you don't have to get up because the folks at the in the back (2nd row) had to get up to see the chefs/sous chefs working. I say you will have lots of food to eat since you get 6 dishes altogether. The dishes are creative, well executed, and aesthetically presentable. At the end you get to say the winner and provide an explanation if you want. I will back for dinner next time! There is only one restroom and hooks for your jackets and bags.

This was a great experience- I thought it would be more like the show chopped but they explained it as chopped meets iron chef. There are 3 rounds- appetizer, entree and dessert and specific times for each course but if you take extra time after the clock you lose it in the following course (or point deduction in the final). They encourage conversation (and to ask to taste things) with diners, sous chefs and chefs. It's very fun to see the hustle and bustle of everyone and the chaos that ensues as the timer runs out. It was fun to score and at the end we all had to share who our winning chef was and why. Would 100% do this again, such a memorable experience.

Such a vibe! Did the chef competition twice. You really need to try to get tickets right when it's released cause they sell out very quickly. Always get the counter seats! Different chefs, different vibes, different cuisines and style of cooking and food. It's such a fun time with your partner, friends, and family. Highly recommended! The Brooklyn location is not BYOB btw.

I really didn't know what to expect other than a cooking competition, but it was overall a great time. We got seats at the counter, which is definitely the way to go. The chefs actively encourage you to ask questions throughout the cooking time and the atmosphere is super fun. The food was great and you do get a lot of it (essentially 6 dishes). And the dishes were creative and did well with the secret ingredients. It was a bit more than I would spend on a normal show or a normal lunch, but I guess it's worth it for the amount of food you get. I will say the ticket buying process was very stressful. I tried right at 11 when they opened and despite the website saying there were seats available for other times, I kept getting told they disappeared (even though I would go back and they'd still be listed). I wasn't initially planning on doing the lunch option but it's fine and worked out.

We attended a hands-on cooking class at Hudson Table Brooklyn and were really impressed. We were running a little late, but their team responded promptly when we reached out--very different from a previous experience I had at another location, where no one got back to me until after the event was over. Our class was held on the ground level, which felt intimate and welcoming, with a small group size that made the experience more personal. We signed up for Surf and Turf night and had a great time. We originally brought a bottle of wine, but learned there's a $25 corkage fee. Since they offer a full menu of cocktails and wine, we decided to order from there instead, which worked out well. Vlad, our chef, was excellent--knowledgeable, engaging, and kept the atmosphere fun. Overall, Hudson Table Brooklyn delivered a great mix of good food, hands-on learning, and a warm setting.

These might be the hardest tickets to get in Brooklyn. I thought we were stuck with the vegan chef competition, but the food was so delicious that we left impressed trying to figure out how to recreate them. it was fun to be able to give our pros/cons to the chefs, note things like presentation & creativity, and talk with the other guests. The space is clean with a huge kitchen surrounded by a bar like seating area. There's additional seating further from the kitchen, but I noticed those guests would stand up to see the chefs' work. Unfortunately, you don't know the menu beforehand and the chefs find out about an hour before the ingredients so I doubt you can order. All I can say is the vegan brownie & cabbage wrapped mushroom burrito were amazing. In third place, was the hummus appetizer which had a kick to it. Be sure you have time because it's not an event that you wanto leave early, and they're literally cooking everything from scratch. Pricey as it's over $100 per person not including drinks, but worth it for a special night. Be sure to put an alarm for ticket release dates because I was twenty minutes late and ended up with the last option available.

Booked one of their Chef Competition experiences as a surprise for my partner's birthday - it was a blast!! We enjoyed watching Chef Jose and Chef Kemo pull together each dish within the parameters. It was fun and interactive.. and everything was delicious! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a fun and unique dining experience.

My friend and I had a great time here for the chef competition! I grew up watching so many cooking competition shows like Chopped, Iron Chef etc Come hungry because you are about to get a 6 course dinner in 3 hours, and the portions are big. It was cool getting to watch the chefs do their magic and you have the opportunity to talk to them too. At the end, you tally up the score, and each judge has to say who they voted for and why. Something I think would be good to improve for future events is if the judging was more "fair". I felt like clearly there was a psychological bias going on for those sitting at the counter. Everyone who sat on the right side voted for the chef on the right side and everyone who voted on the left side voted for chef on the left. There were also a handful of people who I didn't feel were qualified to judge, I'm not gunna name names or doxx them but if you're not a chef/foodie/adventurous eater aka this is your first time having thai curry, I'm sorry but what? The audacity to say something wasn't creative, like bruh, did you even pay attention to the ingredients in the dish? Maybe a way to minimize bias, idk if it would be weird but just some ideas: - Have the chefs switch grills - Force everyone to walk around and engage with both chefs - Remove points if the chef went over time limit - Remove points if the chef barely used an ingredient Overall it was a fun and creative way to spend the night. Great for a night with friends or date night!

I went to Hudson Table to attend their chef competition dinner course, and it was such a fun, interactive, and unique experience. We got to enjoy a friendly cooking competition between two chefs while being part of the atmosphere. Throughout the event, we were able to walk around, talk to the chefs, and ask them questions as they prepared each course. Chef Angie and Chef Oliver were competing for our dinner, and both of them created some truly creative and delicious dishes. Every course came out well done. The layout of the location was also interesting; 12 guests were seated around the cooking stations, with two additional tables behind that seating another eight guests. It made the whole experience feel very intimate and immersive. Overall, it was a cool night that I'd recommend to anyone looking for something different and memorable.

Wow what an experience! Booked for a Spanish surf and turf class and it was so fun and informative. Upon arriving we were greeted and checked in. We had a seat at the counter and waited until start time. We were served a light appetizer and ordered some drinks. They have decent premade cocktails and wines to offer. The chef did a chopping lesson and we got straight to work! Black bean and mango salsa, chimichurri sauce for the steak, chorizo rice, shrimp and flan. 4 to a table-- so since we were a couple we paired up with 2 other people to make the full meal. You will be working! So don't think you're there just for the grand finale lol
