Zesty, creamy, and totally dreamy — pancakes that make mornings happy.

Join us for a fun and interactive brunch cooking experience! Whether you’re an aspiring chef or a beginner in the kitchen, Chef David Marino invites you to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on in preparing delicious brunch dishes. You’ll have the chance to collaborate with fellow food enthusiasts to create a spread of mouthwatering dishes, including Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Herbed Scrambled Eggs.

This is a great opportunity to learn new skills, share tips, and enjoy a delightful meal together. Come hungry, ready to cook, and leave with a full belly and some new cooking techniques!”

Menu:

  • Lemon Ricotta Pancakes – Zesty and Creamy
  • Crispy Bacon – Learn how to perfectly crisp bacon for serving a group

  • Herbed Scrambled Eggs – With chives or dill make a lovely side.

  • Grilled Pineapple and Blood Orange Mimosas 

A sample of the tips and tricks you will learn:

  • For extra lemon punch, add a few drops of lemon extract or a touch more zest.

  • Don’t skip whipping the egg whites — that’s what makes these pancakes cloud-soft!

  • If you want them extra rich, try subbing part of the milk with a splash of cream.

Our Hours

Dave Marino

Food is my life! I attended culinary school at the College of Dupage, received a bachelor degree in Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and masters in Education from Kaplan University. After a restaurant circuit I’ve been executive chef for various companies and institutions. I am currently a director of Food Service at a retirement home and I still teach culinary arts at the college of Lake County - which I love. I’ve traveled extensively and love picking up cooking techniques and flavors. There’s almost nothing I can’t cook but my favorite is classical French. I love cooking, teaching and sharing a great evening with our guests!
