The Show Kitchen

The Villages Show Kitchen - The Villages Entertainment (https://www.thevillagesentertainment.com/the-villages-show-kitchen/)

Has anyone else done this???

Ain't cheap, but it was a very enjoyable event.

My Bride signed us up.
I went grumbling all the way.
But I really enjoyed and recommend.

Advice.............get there early.
I would recommend at least 30 minutes early.
Even though you have a reservation, first-come-first-sit seating.
You will sit, but you might want one of the front row seats.

Thanks. Was thinking about it but haven’t signed up yet.

They're moving to reserved seating.

Thanks. I was not aware.

The goal is to build your confidence in cooking? Isn’t that special.

I've been to similar things back home, although usually at a much better price point, sometimes with a celebrity chef even.

$60 each seems a bit much to watch a random chef cook 4 appetizers for you to try.

I'm cheap, so I thought the $60 was a bit steep as well........but it was worth it.

A poster mentioned "4 appetizers for you to try", it's not.
We had an app, entree, dessert, all the wine & beer you want.
Most people ended up taking food home........you won't leave hungry.

It was the Chef, two assistants and two servers.
The live Q&A is where it becomes educational.................if that is something you want.

The other Villagers were great to meet.

The advantage of Sawgrass is the environment...........the seating, the open kitchen, the mirrors, the cameras, the screens.

If you like Leg, you probably will love Saw.

Yep - I am a regular at the show kitchen - usually attend once a week, sometimes twice - IMO it’s easily the best meal in The Villages. I really enjoy all the ethnic classes, especially since we are lacking in lots of ethnic restaurants in The Villages. Chef Scott is great - friendly and very knowledgeable. The support staff, is also awesome.

If anyone attends, look for me, and come and say hi! It’s always great to meet fellow TOTV users in person!

I'm cheap too but I'll most likely try it once. There's definitely worse things to spend $120 on.

Lopez and Prima Italian have similar events as Show Kitchen. It’s cheap wine and beer at any of them, but the food outcome is different. Would rate Prima, Lopez, and sawgrass last.

We have gone to all three. It seems our experience was similar to yours. Sawgrass was a let down compared to the others.

Let's put the price aside, think of this less to do with a meal and more to do with entertainment. I have seen a video of this before and what I am curious about do you know what food the lesson is going to be about before you sign up and do any of these classes walk you through a 3-course meal? Today if you go onto YouTube, you can find at least five recipes for every food on the planet.

Here are the upcoming menus, dates and times.

If you look at the respective web sites for each you will see the Menu for each day offered.

We went and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious!
