One Day Cooking Class
Join Chef Dave at Halyards Restaurant for an afternoon cooking class. The restaurant is closed during the afternoon, but Chef Dave is opening it just for you and your private lesson. You will walk with him behind the scenes of his beautifully appointed restaurant, directly into his private chef's kitchen, put on your apron and learn directly from a top chef how to take the steps to make an exceptional meal!
Chef Dave is personable, patient and encouraging so even first time cooks will learn while having fun. The size of this exclusive group is limited. We will only offer reservations for 6 - 8 people
Classes are usually taught on a Tuesday and Saturday each month starting at 11:00 A.M. The hands-on lesson takes about 90 minutes and then you will sit down to eat your beautiful creations until about 1:30 P.M. Your meal includes all of your delicious food, side dishes, tasty dessert and two glasses of a great wine especially selected by Dave! While you eat, sit back and enjoy the lovely restaurant, the delicious food and the glow of this unique experience.
Here is the offering for June 2012

More About Chef Dave
Chef Dave's cooking experience dates back to school days in Michigan and his college days at the University of Georgia. After university, he graduated from the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont. Fortunate enough to meet Chef Christian Delouvrier while in school, he moved to New York City to learn from Delouvrier at Les Celebrites in the Essex House Hotel.
He then gained more valuable experience while in New York. "I was lucky enough to work for some great chefs who pride themselves on training the next generation of chefs." His teachers included Michael Romano at Union Square Cafe, Erik Maillard at the Mark Hotel, and John DiLeo at Zoe. After almost five years in New York, he headed to the South. "I wanted to go back to the South," he pleads.

"I wanted to go back to the South," he pleads.
Now as chef and owner, his goal is to develop a team that will enable Halyards and his other restaurants to expand into a family of restaurants. He does this by using the freshest resources. His fish come from local fishermen; his sweet, wild shrimp come from shrimp boats off our coast and his clams come from nearby Sapelo Island. But, don't overlook his wonderful meats, too. All menu items are special because he cooks his seafood and meats with the freshest produce from two local farms and a food co-op. Chef Dave brings all of his tasty, specially selected food together in his magical kitchen at Halyards to produce a cuisine that can be described as "Southern with a splash from the ocean."
I think the thing I enjoyed the most about the class was seeing Dave enjoy it so much! I thought he did a great job of instruction and hands-on during the class. It's one thing to hear and watch but even better to get in there with your hands and have him assist and encourage you along the way.

The class was awesome! Definitely worth every minute and penny! Dave was great. The best part, for me, was Dave showing me how to use a knife without cutting the whooey out of my fingers. Loved every minute and every bite!

June 9th (Saturday) or June 12th (Tuesday) 11:00 A.M.
What could be better than eating locally caught fresh fish? Well, that would be learning the best cooking methods and techniques that Chef Dave uses to bring out the delicate flavors of fish so they retain that “just caught” ocean flavor. Chef Dave and his elite fishermen will catch the fish and then you can join us June 9th or June 12th and practice grilling, baking, sautéing, and frying the freshest fish you’ll ever taste! Speckled trout, sea bass, flounder, and snapper will be the fresh catches in June. And, of course, Chef Dave will help you find the perfect sides to serve with your fish! You’ll find the time in the kitchen just flies by as you cook and laugh with Chef Dave.
