East Lansing
Cook together. Eat together. Leave closer.
This is made-together dining.
The Local Epicurean in East Lansing is a private, hands-on cooking experience on Grand River Avenue between East Lansing and Okemos. You come with your own group, from two to as many as 90 people, cook a three-course meal together with an instructor, then sit down and eat it. Most experiences run $99 to $129 a person depending on the menu. There’s also a full bar and a market with handmade pasta, sauces, take-and-bake meals and other culinary finds. Corporate team building, private events, Supper Clubs and wine tastings are hosted here throughout the year.

Cooking Experiences
Most meals out, you’re served and you forget them. The Local Epicurean is made-together dining — book a private class, cook a real meal with your people, and leave with a story you’ll actually retell.
-

Team Building
Most team-building, nobody remembers. The Local Epicurean puts your people shoulder to shoulder making a real meal — and they leave closer. The offsite they actually thank you for.
-

Supper Clubs & Events
Most events, nobody remembers them. Our monthly Supper Clubs and Wine Tastings gather good people for a night of real food, real wine, and real company. The one you'll actually retell.
