Culinary Center of Kansas City

I attended my first class tonight at the Culinary Center of Kansas City.  No, this is not a large university culinary program, but a small building with two demonstration kitchens in a turn of the century buggy barn in the heart of downtown Overland Park.  This place seems to have a little bit of a cult following.  In fact, I met one gentleman today who says that he has probably been to 30 classes there.  When I looked for a class to sign up for a few weeks back, it was difficult for me to find an open spot in the next couple of months.  Luckily a spot opened up in the Tapas Party class and I jumped on the opportunity.  They host a surprising number of classes for a place this size.
