Came in to Jack and Lil's this past weekend for a demo "cook and learn" style brunch. We were celebrating a Bachelorette party and since the bride-to-be loves to cook and spend time in the kitchen, we thought this would make for a fun daytime activity.
The whole experience was really amazing, from the greeting to the cooking to the eventual eating of the finished meal. I was back and forth with the owner, Dan, who was very accommodating and willing to work with a larger number of people than originally planned.
The place is a really charming and kitschy small catering space which looks like it could be your friend's apartment. The set up was impressive. Although a smaller space. Dan worked well to change the space around to make room for different situations. For instance, when we came in, there was a buffet of goodies set up to snack on while we caught up and enjoyed some homemade granola and yogurt, as well as various spreads and homemade bread.
Then, when we switched over to the demo and cooking class, there was a giant movable table we all stood around to get instructions and prepare food. Eventually, when we sat down for our meal of freshly made fare, Dan moved over two more tables to create a long communal table we could all sit at and enjoy our creations.
The food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing and Dan and his staff were also amazing. There are few places in the city which provide this kind of interactive cooking experience. I looked into it, trust me! I would highly recommend this place for any kind of small private event i.e. a birthday, a bachelor/ette party etc.
I cannot wait to come back and simply eat here for Sunday brunch. Thank you to Jack and Lil's for making this such a memorable, and delicious, event for my friends and I. read more
