Recent reviews of Fire Up Father's Day Cooking Class

  • 2/5 from Sandra Moore, attended Jun 2026: Before writing this review I reached out to the instructor with some of my issues. She apologized and said she’d escalated my concerns to Pam, an admin who’d reach out to me. Five days later and no contact from Pam. I was so excited to take my mister to their Father’s Day class. We’re empty nesters and this was meant to be a special treat for both of us. He’s not big on cooking classes but the posted menu was appealing and I promised to do all the heavy lifting. Ribeye Steak — thought we’d learn some new techniques to elevate our steak prep game. Mexican Street Corn Dip and Homemade Tater Tots — summer corn is a family favorite and the thought of making homemade tater tots was intriguing. Smash Burger Sliders — wanted to learn to consistently nail that crispy exterior. Inexplicably, we were paired with another pair — a single dad with an 8 yo kid. Neither the mister nor I wanted this but we didn’t want to make a scene or hurt anyone’s feelings. We didn’t even realize we were paired with them until the chef pointed out that our mise en place tray was setup for four. Why?? 1. The Mexican Street Corn Dip which I think was supposed to be an appetizer, was completely omitted. However, we did make a grilled corn salad as part of the meal. There was no appetizer served when we arrived. 2. Instead of homemade tater tots we made potato wedges. 3. The team we were paired with was lovely. However the class was well beyond their skill level. So instead of taking on the bulk of the work for 2 people, I did the bulk of the prep for 4 people. The course description says there may be seasonal substitutions but these substitutions utilized the same core ingredients. This was more work than I anticipated and left me feeling a bit overwhelmed and behind schedule. This threw the timing off and my mister enjoyed his steak alone while I was still standing at a hot stove prepping food for 4 people. Not the fun afternoon of “us” time I’d envisioned. Overall this was a subpar experience in so many areas that mattered to us. Left me personally disappointed and apologizing to my mister for the poor planning and execution. Could have spent the same amount of money without the hour+ drive and had a better experience.
