The chefs at Russell Siu's 3660 On The Rise have been offering cooking classes so popular they've had a waiting list and had to add additional ones. These are multicourse demonstrations with tastings and wine pairings for $60. They're held at 6 p.m. select Thursdays at the restaurant at 3660 Wai'alae Ave.
