    Amazing must do experience if you are in New Orleans!…read more We did the Hands On class - make sure to reserve early on their website! It is worth the price for 3 part meal, wine, and experience/guidance. Had an awesome Chef G who helped us make chicken and andouille gumbo, BBQ shrimp and grits and bananas foster crepes. Never felt like had to figure it out on our own - always available for guidance! They laid out the ingredients pre measured and helped clean up in between. You will eat in between each meal you make. Did not feel rushed at all. Come hungry! Our group class had a great time. There is also a store you can buy items and staff was very welcoming and helpful.

    This is such a fun idea to cook a meal while visiting New Orleans that you eat as well. We made…read moregumbo, fish with rice & bananas foster over ice cream for dessert. It was so much fun & at first intimidating to think you have to cook all that but everything was already portioned out & ready to go. There were about ten of us & the instructor was funny & very helpful. We cooked the gumbo & fish then we all sat down to eat our creations. There was wine, beer, iced tea, lemonade & water to drink. They brought us out warm crusty rolls while we were eating. They had a store in the front that you can buy spices, sauces, cooking supplies etc. You get to keep the apron they give you to cook in as well as the recipes you cooked & a pen! This is definitely a fun way to spend an evening while on vacation.

    I had the honor of volunteering with New Orleans Mission while I was in town. This place does a…read morewonderful service for the city. The group I was with had set up our volunteer project beforehand. It's not that lengthy of a process to do. We showed up and were taken to where we were going to volunteer and we were on our way. Our mission was to help feed the people that came in for a meal. They had this down to a science, it moved so smoothly that it felt like a video game almost. Everything was done so efficiently that it was over so quickly that it felt like we were only there as decoration. I'm not complaining, they have been doing this longer than any of us that came to volunteer. After we were done with clean up we were give a tour of the building. We also had a sit down meeting where we were explained everything that they offer to the community. This is just one site that they oversee. Like I said, it was an honor.

    My experience with the New Orleans Mission was very disappointing and concerning. I went there…read moreexpecting to receive help during a difficult time, but I felt that the main option being pushed was becoming a "disciple." When I said I did not want to become a disciple, I was told I could only stay for two days. What concerned me even more was what I was told about the disciple program. Once you agree to become a disciple, you are required to turn in your phone and other electronics. You are also unable to freely leave, and there are restrictions that can affect your ability to work or have your children attend school. I was also told that disciples are sent to Lynhaven in Hammond. I was told that participants could not keep things like their credit cards, phones, or other personal belongings. From my perspective, having your communication devices and access to the outside world restricted felt extremely controlling. It did not feel like the type of support I expected from a mission that is supposed to help people who are already vulnerable. I understand that programs can have rules and structure, but people seeking shelter and assistance should be given clear information about those rules and should feel respected and safe. Based on what I experienced and was told, I personally felt uncomfortable with the program and the level of control involved. It felt more like a cult-like environment to me than the supportive assistance I was looking for. I hope the New Orleans Mission takes concerns like these seriously and considers how these policies affect people who come there seeking help.
