    A Rice Cooking Class with Chef Hari Cameron

    Cooking classes, popular for many years, have seen a renaissance of late, likely a result of the pandemic lockdowns making people realize a) how much they enjoy cooking, and b) how much they don’t know about cooking. USA Rice’s celebrated celebrity chef and consultant Hari Cameron, fresh off his appearance on “Beat Bobby Flay,” hosted a Rice Cooking Class at his demonstration kitchen in Rehoboth Beach, DE. He sat down with Michael after the class to talk about it all. That plus Michael and Lesley on gourmet hot dogs, rice wine vinegar, and nachos. @Hari_Cameron on X @HariCam on Instagram www.thechefstablede.com With special guest: Hari Cameron, Chef, The Chef's Table Hosted by: Michael Klein and Lesley Dixon
