There is a lot that goes into running a restaurant…I mean an extreme amount that I wouldn’t have even known if I didn’t take this class.“

– Lance Lemon, Co-owner Penny’s Wine Shop & 2023 EEP Participant

The EEP Program was very helpful to us…and came to us when we needed guidance the most. It showed us what was missing in our business and what more can be done to make it better.”

– Kajal Jessani, Khushbu

We had an amazing experience with Chef Ingrid. She was super engaging and helped us prepared a wonderful meal. The environment really made us feel like we were in the back of the house preparing a meal for guests. Would absolutely do it again. Thank you Chef Ingrid for an awesome experience.”
