Wake up to biscuits, bacon, and pure Southern charm!
Get ready to rise, shine, and cook up a storm in this fun, hands-on Southern Breakfast Cooking Class! Step into our welcoming kitchen and learn how to prepare the kind of hearty, soulful breakfast that’s been bringing folks together for generations.
Led by Chef John Alunni, you’ll master the art of flaky buttermilk biscuits, creamy stone-ground grits, and crispy fried chicken & waffles—alongside other down-home favorites that’ll make your mornings unforgettable. Whether you’re a born-and-raised Southerner or simply love good comfort food, this class will fill your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas, Southern hospitality, and plenty of good cheer.
👨‍🍳 On the Menu
🐔 Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Golden Brown Waffles with Hot Honey Butter
Crispy, juicy fried chicken meets fluffy golden waffles in this ultimate Southern duo—drizzled with warm, spicy-sweet honey butter that’s pure bliss.
🧈 Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits with Savory Sausage Gravy
Tender, buttery biscuits baked from scratch, smothered in rich, peppery sausage gravy that’s comforting and full of Southern soul.
🍳 Creamy Stone-Ground Grits with Boursin Cheese
Slow-cooked to silky perfection and blended with creamy Boursin cheese for an irresistibly rich, savory side.
🥓 Applewood-Smoked Bacon & Homemade Country Sausage Patties
Thick-cut bacon cooked to crisp perfection and juicy, house-blended sausage patties seasoned with sage and spice—because one breakfast meat just isn’t enough!
🍎 Warm Southern Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Sweet, cinnamon-spiced apples baked beneath a golden, buttery crust and topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream—comfort food at its finest.
🥂 A mimosa bar and bloody marys will be available for purchase!
We’ll turn up the Southern hospitality, roll up our sleeves, and share plenty of laughs as we cook, learn, and feast together. You’ll leave with a full belly, printed recipes, and the skills to bring a taste of the South to your own breakfast table.
