The Viking Cooking School Outdoors of Baton Rouge brings together the extraordinary reputation of Viking appliances with the rich culinary heritage of Louisiana. Located on the pool deck of the 4-diamond Hilton Capitol Center hotel, the school offers a new outdoor grilling concept that compliments the successful cooking school curriculum existing in 13 locations around the United States. Viking Cooking Schools target an upscale audience with a strong interest in food, wine, travel and entertainment.

The Hilton's pool deck overlooking the Mississippi River is the perfect location for the new Viking outdoor grilling experience. In an outdoor pavilion, through engaging demonstrations and intimate hands-on classes ranging from 16-36 people, the Viking Cooking School Outdoors provides a first class atmosphere for those who love to cook, entertain, or just appreciate the pleasure of great food. Private events can also be held on the pool deck with the Viking Chef Experience. Convention and meeting groups have the opportunity to upgrade their food and beverage into a Viking Outdoor experience. Classes are themed such as Girl's Night Out, Romantic Date Night, and Tailgate Cooking competitions.
