It's all about elegance, presentation, and sweetness! Tableside cooking, once a necessity in times past as the kitchen was located far from the dining area, changed in the late 1880s. The aristocrats of the period sought the elegance and entertainment value that a chef could provide while cooking at the table. Now, you can continue the tradition after Chefs Brian and Brian demonstrate the fine points of tableside cooking.
