In this class series, adventuresome young chefs will explore three Asian cuisines – Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese – making a classic dish from each.

**NEW DATE** February 23 – Pho

Pho is the national dish of Vietnam. Like many Vietnamese dishes, Pho has strong French influences. Flavored with warm spices like star anise and cinnamon, the smokiness of charred onion, and brightened by lime, Pho is a rich bone broth – traditionally beef – served with slurpy soft rice noodles and tender meat, piled high with fresh herbs like cilantro, mint and basil.

Students ages 7 and younger must have an adult remain in the kitchen at all times. All parents are welcome to stay, watch, participate and eat! Please contact us directly at uakidscook@gmail.com with any food allergy or safety issues.

Classes are $45. Contact 1400 Food Lab regarding a discount for signing up for all three Asian cooking classes in advance.

Food for Thought Kitchen is run by Carrie Klug and Olivia Hickey. Carrie has loved cooking since childhood and has years of experience in restaurants as well as running her own baking and catering service. Olivia learned to cook while studying in Italy and brings her knowledge of psychology and her experiences as a teacher to the partnership. They are friends and working parents who want to offer their love of cooking, learning and everyday adventures to central Ohio. Students throughout Columbus are welcome, and our classes are particularly convenient to Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Marble Cliff, Grandview, OSU Campus area, and Clintonville.

“It’s all about family,” is a creed that Tony Layne has lived by all his life. Growing up in Gallipolis, Ohio, often in the care of his grandmothers, tending the garden, cooking and preserving food, Tony learned at an early age the value and comfort of the family meal. And it continues today with the entire Layne family engaged in the Por’Ketta food truck operations. Tony, his wife Michelle, and their kids – Allison, Caitlyn, Mariah, Conner and Hannah – all contribute to the family business and, more important to Tony, they gather frequently at home to cook and eat together.

1400 Food Lab and the Layne family invite you to join us for Sunday Supper and pull up a chair to the communal table while big platters of some of Tony’s favorite foods are passed among friends both old and new. This is what Tony likes to eat on his birthday – and oh by the way, it is! We are delighted to welcome Platform Beer Co – Columbus as a partner in this celebratory event!

[complimentary welcome beverage]
House-made Corn Chips with Red Bean Dip
Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin, Porchetta-Style with Salsa Verde
Beef Brisket Barbacoa with Pickled Vegetables
Duck Fat Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Potatoes
Pan-Seared Quick Greens with Bacon Lardon
Braised Leeks
Rosemary & Sea Salt Yeast Rolls
Angel Biscuits from Matija Breads
Hummingbird Cake
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Assorted Macarons

A variety of beers from Platform Beer Co – Columbus, specially-selected to complement Tony’s menu, will be available at the bar for separate purchase.
Red and white wines also available. No mixed drinks.

Tony Layne entered food service as a teenager and worked his way through the industry from dishwasher, busboy, and server to line cook, sous chef and executive chef – from fast food to fine dining. A graduate of The Ohio State University with degrees in Economics and Finance, Tony cooked to pay for school, but soon realized a corporate career was not his destiny – it was food. As a young adult, he worked in some of Columbus’s most iconic restaurants, including Umberto’s, The Clock, 55 Group, and The Worthington Inn. And he served as Executive Chef with the Marriott Corporation for several years. Later, Tony wanted a way to work and cook with his family, building a legacy for the next generation of Laynes. He turned to long-time friend and mentor Jamie Anderson of Ray Ray’s Hog Pit who advised, “Make what you like to eat.” Thus, Por’Ketta was born in March 2015 and Tony has been feeding Columbus his delicious, crispy, tender, herby oven-roasted Porchetta ever since. The Por’Ketta food truck is always in high demand during peak season and in the winter Tony and his family take over bar kitchens around the city including Parsons North Brewing Company and Platform Beer Co – Columbus.
