Gather your team from anywhere in the world for this Gumbo cooking class that will have you thinking you're on Bourbon Street!

GUMBO! Nothing says NOLA quite like a spicy pot of Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. Let the aroma of spices fill the air as you and your team travel to New Orleans in a class that will teach you the complex flavors of one of New Orlean’s most important dishes. Learn the traditional techniques of making a roux (the heart of any gumbo!) as it slowly transforms into a deep, nutty base that infuses the dish with its distinctive taste and velvety texture. Bring that together with spices including paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper and you’ll have a dish that rivals any New Orleans restaurant.

Feel the spirit of the bayou come alive as you create a dish that has been passed down for generations. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned cook, our Gumbo Team Building Class promises an unforgettable culinary experience that celebrates the warmth and soul of Cajun and Creole cuisine.

You’ll dive into the rich and soulful flavors of Louisiana's most beloved dish with Chef Gason Nelson, the private chef to NFL Players and A-List celebrities alike. In this class, you’ll hear about his restaurant adventures, and maybe even a story from the time he was on Food Network’s Chopped! Let the gumbo magic begin!

Meet The Chef

Chef Gason

Chef Gason

New Orleans, Louisiana

Private chef to A-list celebrities and athletes, contestant on Food Network, regular chef on TV, James Beard Scholar.

Chef Gason, a New Orleans native and two-time James Beard Scholar, has traveled the world, showcasing his extraordinary culinary talents to some of the most discerning palates, including Francis Ford Coppola, the Kardashians, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Matthew McConaughey, Swizz Beatz, Sinbad, Jairus Byrd, Paul Walker, Reggie Bush, and New Orleans Saints' tight end Ben Watson.


Chef Gason has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Business Insider, Reader's Digest, New Orleans Magazine, morning shows, and on the Food Network's "Chopped," where he made it to the final round. In 2017 and 2020, the American Culinary Federation, Louisiana Chapter, named him one of the "Best Chefs in Louisiana."


His passion for food and his hometown shines through in every detail. As Chef Gason says, "The state of being fully immersed in an activity is called 'flow.' Flow is my culinary code." And it's this flow that you’ll learn from him, without a doubt.


Known as the NOLA Chef, Chef Gason’s private chef and catering company, Full of Flavor, caters to events both intimate and grand, earning rave reviews. During your cooking class, his energy and vibrant spirit will leap from your screen, and by the end, you’ll have a new friend—and some of the best Creole food you’ve ever tasted. He can’t wait to teach you how to cook New Orleans-style in his classes with The Chef & The Dish.
