After eight years, Back to the Table Cooking School has closed in Lafayette. The production kitchen on the second floor will remain open with a new name.
From their Facebook page:
We were all set with a full spring schedule and almost sold out summer camps…until COVID-19 hit. After some real soul searching over the last 5 months, as well as the uncertainty of when we could reopen; Leslie and I are very sad to say that we have decided to close our cooking school permanently, effective immediately. However, we are happy to announce the new owner will continue the Production Kitchen under their own name.
