About Epicurean Theatre

The Epicurean Theatre is the 1,000-square-foot culinary classroom inside Epicurean Hotel in South Tampa. The hotel is tied to Bern's Steak House. The kitchen has Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove appliances, plus Shun knives and Steelite plates. Guest chefs, winemakers and local talent rotate through, so the calendar reads more like a run of one-off events than a set course list.

Upcoming public classes include a Champagne Tasting Experience, a five-course pairing for $185, and Mozzarella Making with Solena Cheese for $125. VooDoo Chef Presents Friendsgiving, a non-traditional Thanksgiving with Chef Erik Youngs, CEC, is also $125. Classes run in the evening and usually last about two hours. Most are posted about 30 days ahead, so check back often.

Wine and food pairing comes up again and again, which fits the Bern's connection. The room also books for private dinners, social events and corporate team building. On Google it has a 3 rating, but that comes from only 2 reviews.
