Chef Alyssa's Kitchen

Working with CAK’s corporate representative was a terrible experience, which is sad because I have heard good things about their classes and we were all looking forward to experiencing one. I tried to book an event for a small work team over 3 months out and was first told that I was too early to do so. Then, I was told my group was too small (5 ppl) for a private event and would have to book for a regular scheduled event, which I understood and was fine with. When it came down to booking the event for our discussed/desires date, the window for sign ups was closed within hours, at most (I was notified in the evening about the openings - looked - already closed). You’d think it’d be a good business practice to hold an easy 5 spots for a client who has been in constant communication regarding the event, but I guess not. After that, I got a few ‘run around’ e-mails and then eventually no response (after the representative told me “he’d let me know about moving attendees to other days to fit us in). If you’re looking to book for a small group make sure to have a backup plan set up as well.

Had a team building session and it was great. Chef Alyssa and staff was wonderful. Got to cook some good food using fresh ingredients and with some good teammates/collegues from work.

We used her custom meal prep service for food for a bachelorette party. It was perfect. Everyone could eat what they wanted when they wanted with minimal cleanup. And everything was delicious. Really generous serving sizes as well

I have been on the waiting list to attend a class and finally found one that works for our schedule! These classes sell out quickly, so you will likely need to sign up as soon as the menu is announced. I recommend the newsletter to keep up! Our class was tapas style, which is usually done as a private event but they told us they were experimenting with this style. My husband and I really enjoyed it because it allowed us to go to a station for one dish, enjoy it at our table, and then hop to the next. Each station was very different and I really liked spreading out each experience! All of the ingredients for each dish were pre-prepped or sorted into serving sizes containers. A PDF with the recipe for each dish was provided so that we can try to replicate our favorites at home. The flavors were so good! We tried some things for the first time ever! While this was a date night for us, there were some in attendance in alone, and some in friend groups. Chef Alyssa (a native Charlottean) and her assistant chefs were super helpful, personable, and clearly enjoy what they do for a living! The assistant chefs are all culinary school graduates, several from Johnson & Wales. It’s so refreshing to see niche businesses like this flourish in our community. We definitely plan to go back.
