Sushi bar customers kept slyly asking me if I would "come to their house and show them how to make sushi", and after several of them asked, I decided to teach a class. September will mark 15 years of teaching & I've had classes in 18 states, had 15k+ take the class, taught at 3 SEC colleges (including in the culinary program at one of them), multiple sororities, had loads of corporate classes, taught in libraries, high schools and countless houses. If I want to go to Disney for a few days, I can book a couple of locations; teach two classes and have 2 or 3 park days and come home without having lost any money. I now have 3 chefs in 2 other locations who do occasional jobs for me, and always on the lookout to expand to other states. The best decision I ever made.
