DLM Culinary Center

Dorothy Lane Market, oh you and I are gonna be fast friends, I can already tell! DLM is a high-​end grocery store not unlike Heinen’s in the CLE area or that other Whole Paycheck place we all know & hate to love.
The stores are always well-​lit without feeling harsh. I honestly what to spend hours at DLM salivating and scouring every aisle to see what bounty I might find!
This particular store (which may not be unlike others, I just don’t know because I haven’t moved to this region yet.) offers a lovely wine selection with tables and a bar where you may enjoy a draft beer or a glass of vino. My understanding is this particular location also offers cooking classes, which I hear are expensive but oh, so much fun!
The produce is always fresh. I can find my «weird» natural /​organic /​granola-​like products that my family makes fun of me for here.
If you love food, you’ll love this place.

I have taken several classes usually involving wine pairing. What an incredible experience. The menus and wine lists are what you expect from DLM, great quality for the money, a great value. You can’t go out for dinner with several paired pours of wine anywhere else. I always learn something even though I have cooked for years. This is a great date night or way to spend time with friends.

We love DLM Culinary center. They offer a wide variety of classes from novice to expert. Great date place too…

A great place for foodies. They have guest cooks, which are often really entertaining. And there are also more basic classes which teach you how to cook. They classes seem expensive, but once you realize you get dinner with the class, it is actually a pretty good deal. Plus, you get 10% off of cooking utensils and stuff you buy on the night of your class. They use top notch ingredients, so I suspect the cooking school is a loss leader, meaning DLM loses money on the school to get you hooked on shopping there for the ingredients.
Definitely worth a try. Chef Jen is a hoot!
