“Had THE BEST TIME! Our chef was amazing. The market was great and we enjoyed seeing a variety of Czech foods and local produce. The entire experience was very interactive and we learned a lot. My family is from the Czech Republic and I was able to gain some new cooking tips and Czech recipes I can share with them. The facility ChefParade was clean, neat, and had friendly staff. You have an opportunity afterwards to shop in their store, which has most of the ingredients you cook with available for purchase. If you like food and wine, I would DEFINITELY recommend.
