with Chef Seth Barber
Must be 21+ to attend.
Celebrate National Bologna Day with Chef Seth Barber in the HKS Kitchen with a fun, flavor-packed cooking class inspired by the comfort foods and local flavors of Arkansas. This hands-on experience highlights the playful side of Southern cooking while honoring regional traditions and beloved everyday ingredients. You'll kick things off with an appetizer from Chef–Arkansas Queso and Salsa Padre served with Tortilla Chips and Fresh Dippers. Then, you’ll learn to make a Northwest Arkansas–style Fried Bologna Sandwich elevated with a rich Sun-Dried Tomato Aioli. On the side, you'll prepare a crisp Cucumber Dilly Salad that brings a refreshing contrast to the hearty main course. And you’ll finish on a sweet note with Chef’s seasonal, fresh-from-the-oven Blackberry Brambler topped with a scoop of Ice Cream. Plus, this class includes a curated Wine Pairing from The Wine Shop at Honeycomb. From achieving the perfect sear on classic fried bologna to balancing creamy, tangy, and fresh elements across the menu, you'll discover how humble ingredients and regional favorites can be turned into a memorable, shareable meal that celebrates Arkansas's culinary heritage with a playful nod to one of America's most iconic sandwiches. Recipes will be provided. Tickets are priced per person.
