Cooking @ Millie's

Date Night 3/11
2023-03-11 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Sold Out!
Chef – Kevin Nelson
This menu is back by popular demand since this menu has sold out every month for over 2 years. Then it immediately sold out in 2 days when we listed for it for February. After numerous calls and emails, we can take a hint so we are bringing it back again for March. Unfortunately, we had to adjust the price of the class because crab is approaching $50 per pound. Never thought about the supply chain 2 years ago, but now I have to think about it all the time. As if there weren’t already enough reasons to hate inflation.

2023-03-09 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Sold Out!
Chef – Jan Payne
I just love Jan’s story. Like myself, Jan’s inspiration for her love of cooking started in her grandmother’s kitchen so obviously she is a woman after my own heart. She is a Louisville native that moved to Alabama to pursue her dream of bringing her amazing food to people on a larger scale. Jan got her big break doing a weekly cooking segment, Cooking With Jan, on the nationally syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show. In addition, Jan has been able to get her product lines of seafood pico and stuffed salmon onto grocery shelves. Lucky for us Jan is passing through Louisville in March and she was willing to come back to Millie’s and share some of her favorite dishes with us. Catch her on the all new season of Fire Masters on Food Network.

2023-01-26 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Sold Out!
Chef – Kevin Nelson
This menu is back by popular demand since this menu has sold out every month for 3 years. It only took 4 days for it to sell out on a Saturday in January. After numerous calls and emails, we can take a hint so we figured out a way of bringing it back again for January by squeezing it in on a Thursday. Unfortunately, we had to adjust the price of the class because crab is approaching $50 per pound. Never thought about the supply chain 2 years ago, but now I have to think about it all the time. As if there weren’t already enough reasons to hate COVID.

Sold Out!
Executive Chef – Andrew Welenken
Andrew has been stopping by Millie’s for years. This time it is as the Corporate Executive Chef of The Goat. Andrew oversees 11 locations of this chef-driven concept. The creativity of this Chopped alumnus always shows through in the unique menus he creates and that’s why we love having him come back. It’s his fusion of different tastes and his original menus that always make his classes sell out so fast.
Roasted Cauliflower Fried Rice w/ Gochujang Aioli, Peanuts & Cilantro,

2023-01-19 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Kentucky/Louisville)
Sold Out!
Owner & Executive Chef – Rocco Cadolini
Finally Rocco is coming back to Millie’s! I remember the first time he sent me a proposed menu and I had to use Google translator because it was literally written in Italian, so he’s as authentic as they come. Rocco will be making all the pasta for this class fresh so that we can truly get a taste of his restaurant. His high energy and authentic Italian food are always a good time when he’s here.

2022-09-30 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Sold Out!
Owner & Executive Chef – Tyler Powell
South Seas is Louisville’s newest restaurant that you must try. Fusing Southern California, Mexico & Hawaii is something Millie’s has never attempted. Luckily, Tyler agreed to come show us how it is done. The mood of the restaurant is an island paradise and with this menu Tyler is bringing, you might just get to taste that tropical vacation you didn’t get to take this year.

2022-09-08 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Sold Out!
Executive Chef – Mickey Palello
We have had The Village Anchor join us many times over the past years and it has been one of our favorites and still endures as a staple of the food scene in Louisville. Their new executive chef, Mickey, came here from Chicago to introduce new menu ideas while still keeping the classics so many people love. I think this menu he is bringing to Millie’s highlights that balance perfectly.

Date Night w/ Jon Pauly (7/29)
2022-07-29 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Sold Out!
Chef – Jon Pauly
Jon has done classes with us since we first opened. Back then he was the executive chef over Equus and Cafe Lou Lou. Then he went on to be the executive chef of The Village Anchor. After years in the culinary field he needed a change of pace that would allow for more family time. Lucky for us he still has an occasional itch to get back in the kitchen and of course we are more than happy to give him a place to do his magic. He sent me this menu and I told him it might be too fancy for us to pull off, but he assured me that he will make it seem easy.

2022-07-21 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Kentucky/Louisville)
Sold Out!
Executive Chef – Chris McIntosh
We do menus with steak all the time, but when you want to do it right you bring in an expert. Chris is the chef in charge of the amazing steakhouse inside the glamorous Omni Hotel. His experience stretches back to when he was at Le Moo and Eddie Merlot’s before that so I would definitely say he has experience with steaks. Luckily, Bob’s Steak & Chop House was nice enough to let us steal him away from the restaurant for a night.
Seared Scallops w/ Citrus Buerre Blanc, Bacon & Texas Burnt Honey,

Sold Out!
Executive Chef – Giovanni Tenace
Le Moo has been listed by the Food Network as one of the “best spots for steak all across America” and most recently #1 in Kentucky. Now Giovanni is joining us at Millie’s to show us how steak is done, among other things. Also, I have to say that I love the profile picture he sent. I know it is him in the office at Le Moo, but I have to laugh because it looks like he is cooking foods in a prison cell.

Chef – Heather Lentz
With school almost out I would love to travel this summer, but with all these classes at Millie’s I can’t imagine how that would be possible. So Heather agreed to do a French themed menu so I could at least feel like I got a vacation, even if it is only for my taste buds.

Owner & Executive Chef – Kendell Sheppard
Kendall was a regular guest at Millie’s when he was the executive chef at Brooklyn & The Butcher. Then he decided he wanted to pursue his own food business. Lucky for us he is still willing to come back from time to time. So glad he was willing to bring a menu of his own design back to Millie’s. I personally love the hints of southern cooking on this menu.

Chase, also known as Chef B, is a classically trained chef and graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu College Of Culinary Arts in Atlanta, GA. Chase is best known for his beautiful presentation along with his unique use of herbs & spices. Chase originally submitted a menu that was amazing, but the complexity of it would have made a beginner’s head explode, but luckily he was willing to tone it down slightly. Check out some of his amazing dishes on Instagram at ChefB_Exquisite_Cuisines as well as learn the secrets in person during this class.

This menu is back by popular demand since this menu has sold out every month for 2 years. It only took 2 days for it to sell out on a Saturday in April. After numerous calls and emails, we can take a hint so we figured out a way of bringing it back again for April by squeezing it in on a Thursday. Unfortunately, we had to adjust the price of the class because crab is approaching $50 per pound. Never thought about the supply chain 2 years ago, but now I have to think about it all the time.

Then that Thursday filled up in 2 days so we added this new date. Unfortunately, we had to adjust the price of the class because crab is approaching $50 per pound. Never thought about the supply chain 2 years ago, but now I have to think about it all the time. As if there weren’t already enough reasons to hate COVID.

We occasionally do an Indian themed menu, but the last time we did the food turned out great. We knew that if we were going to do it again we had to bring back the best to do it right.

Chef – Kevin Nelson
First time I talked to Kevin about what we do at Millie’s he was the Executive Chef at The Black Jockey’s Lounge. He cut me off mid-sentence and said, “If it’s for a good cause, I am in”. I guess it depends on what your definition of “good cause” is. Luckily, he agreed with my slanted logic that entertaining people with amazing food was a good enough cause. I am so glad he agreed to do a class with us because after I tried his island style chicken I was going to harass him until he agreed to show us how to cook it at Millie’s.

Chef – Kevin Nelson
Here at Millie’s we have a list of favorite menus that our resident chef does month in and month out. A lot of our variety comes from visiting chefs that bring that variety in the form of their menus based on their own local restaurants. However, if you have ever attended a private event with us for a family function, team building exercise at work or a holiday party, you know that we have a secret list of menus that never get published on our website. Looking back over the past few years there are certain courses from those secret menus that groups choose overwhelmingly so we thought we would finally offer these favorites to the public all in one class.

Date Night w/ Chef Damo (11/19)
2021-11-19 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Sold Out!
Owner & Executive Chef – Damonique Brown
The episode of Cook That Ish that aired on July 31st featured 2 chefs making their best chicken and waffles dish in a head-to-head competition. Damo made a dish comprised of a savory waffle and sauteed chicken. And he did it in 25 minutes, which during one of our classes the multitasking would make people’s heads explode. I asked him about it and he said he actually makes a much better entree than the chicken and waffles and it sounded amazing. I think that he came up with an incredible menu for us. Check out this link to the episode of Cook That Ish and join us in person to get the secrets directly from Chef Damo in person. https://www.wave3.com/video/2021/08/01/cook-that-ish-week-/
Unfortunately, Damo agreed to do a class in October then it sold out in 3 days. However, he just informed us that his grandmother has to have surgery on the day of his class. Luckily, we were able to substitute a chef familiar with Chef Damo’s recipes. Kevin Nelson will be leading this class.

Every Friday Jan does a cooking segment, Cooking With Jan, on the nationally syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show. In addition, Jan has been able to get her product lines of seafood pico and stuffed salmon onto grocery shelves.

Owner & Executive Chef – “Superchef” Darnell Ferguson
Darnell’s last class sold out so fast and we had so many people ask us when he was coming back, but the man is busy. If you haven’t seen his new show Cook That Ish on NBC, you need to check it out. It keeps him pretty busy, but he is giving some young chefs a chance to show us what they got and the creativity is amazing. But finally we found one day in 2021 that Darnell wasn’t busy with opening a new restaurant, hosting a cooking show or being a contestant on a cooking competition and he agreed to come back. As always, he’s got to do his own thing and this time its a holiday themed menu and we are excited to be doing something different.

Shayne always brings his unique flavors to Millie’s and his fall menu is no different. With fresh, local ingredients he always keeps us on our toes. I guess this is why his classes always sell out so fast and no surprise there are now 2 Hammerheads locations.
