About us

Birmingham Sushi Classes is a two person team.

Bonnie is our reservation wrangler, question answerer, website builder, travel coordinator and all around BSC guru.

Kelly is our sushi instructor and is in her 11th year of working as a sushi chef, with an additional 15 years of professional cooking.

We started dabbling in teaching people how to make sushi at home in 2011 because customers at the sushi bar kept asking if we could "come to their house and show them how to make sushi?"

By 2013, we had a pretty good little side hustle going. In 2016, Kelly was able to quit her job behind the sushi bar and focus on the business full-time.

Our main focus began with teaching classes in local breweries all over the southeast, then we added private, in-home classes and recently added teaching college students at universities, including Alabama, Ole Miss and Auburn!

Since we began this little project, we've had over 13,000 people take the class in 16 different states.
