Step into our warm, cozy, and inviting kitchen and take a delicious journey through the heart of Appalachia! This hands-on cooking experience celebrates the comforting flavors, rustic traditions, and soulful spirit of mountain cooking—with a touch of modern flair.
Imagine the aroma of sizzling cast iron, the warmth of open-fire flavors, and recipes passed down through generations—all reimagined for today’s kitchen. Under the guidance of Chef John Alunni, you’ll explore the heritage of Appalachian cuisine, crafting hearty dishes that are as rich in story as they are in flavor.

🥕 Fire-Roasted Carrots – Sweet, smoky, and kissed with a touch of mountain charm.
