We are located at 5047 N. Clark St., just north of Winnemac and two blocks south of Foster (on the east side of the street under a green awning.) When you see the giant wooden spoon, you've found us! (We are about 8 miles north of downtown Chicago and about 2 miles north of Wrigley Field in our terrific neighborhood of Andersonville.) Which is the closest CTA stop? The closest CTA El stop is Argyle on the Red line. Once you get off the train, cross Broadway and continue west (on either Argyle or Winnemac). Take a right on Clark St. (no need to cross the street) and find us under the green awning. The Clark bus (#22) passes right by our door. Request the Winnemac stop. There are metered spaces in front of the store and we'd be happy to give you change and breaks during class to keep up with feeding them. (One quarter buys 12 minutes; the machines also take credit/debit cards.) There is free parking on the side streets (no special permits needed) and along Ashland Ave. which is just a block away. How does your knife sharpening service work? We sharpen knives right here in the store typically every Tuesday and Thursday. If you drop your knives off on any other day or when we open at 11:00am on these two days we will have them ready for you to pick up by 5:00pm. The cost is $2.50 per knife (any length). We can also sharpen serrated edges, and scissors. We cannot sharpen ceramic knives. How can I register for a cooking class? Please contact us at 773.293.3190, or stop by our shop at 5047 N. Clark to sign up for one of our classes. Payment is required at the time of registration. If the class you are interested in is full, you will be placed on our waiting list. We offer three categories of cooking classes: some hands-on, hands-on and demonstration.
How many people do the class prices cover? Prices listed are per person per class. How long does a class typically last? Each class takes about 2 to 2 1/2 hours unless noted otherwise. Is there anything I need to bring to class? We'll provide all supplies, food and equipment needed for class. Bring a pen if you like to take notes and a special beverage of your choice--otherwise leave everything else to us! We'll provide you with an apron to wear during class. Are the classes for beginning cooks? Our classes are structured for kitchen phobics and culinary experts, alike. Whatever your level of expertise, you will learn cooking skills, tips, and recipes that apply to everyday cooking situations. How many participants are in each class? We can accommodate up to 14 during hands-on classes. Contact us with questions regarding private parties. How much food is available during the classes? In all classes (excluding Knife Skills and as noted), participants will enjoy a serving of the prepared recipes. Serving sizes per dish are typically meal-sized. Eating before class is up to your own discretion. Menu items are subject to change based on ingredient availability. Are alcoholic beverages allowed? You are more than welcome to bring your own beer or wine to class--we will happily open any items for you and provide glasses. There is no corkage fee. We will supply water during the class for all participants. Are class participants entitled to a discount on store items? On the day of the class, students receive 15% off any items used in the class. These items will be easily found on our 15% off table. What is your cancellation policy?
Classes may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. If a class has been cancelled, students will be notified by phone and can apply the class fee to any future class, or opt to receive a refund. Do you have available employment opportunities? Yes! For more information, check out our employment opportunities section, or contact us at 773.293.3190, woodenspoonchicago@woodenspoonchicago.com. Do
