Blown away by the value and quality of the food we got, the time we spent, and the experience! I left with my stomach full and a learning experience I will never forget. Stephen incorporates the sciences behind how and why certain aspects of cooking are done a certain way. The lessons I learned are applicable to many facets of cooking and I am grateful I was able to be a part of this experience. Stephen also has a beautiful home and a super cute dog which only made it that much better.

Description
I have been grilling and BBQing for over 20 years, and have trained abroad in France, Spain, Argentina, Thailand, South Korea and other countries. As a native of the American South, I combine my culinary roots with eclectic and diverse flavor profiles. The result is a completely unique approach to grilling, based on science that marries traditionally Southern recipes and techniques with exciting ethnic-inspired flavors. With over 350 classes delivered and a perfect 5 out of 5 stars rating, I know you will leave my kitchen as a better griller and overall cook! Let's get grilling y'all! Other classes include: Pasta Making, Paella Basics, Sushi 101, Pizza Making.

Not only was the food great, but Steven is an excellent teacher and I learned a lot. Breaking down how and why cooking reactions happen makes it easier to understand cooking in general. I’ve done it twice and will definitely do it again.
Very informative I learned a lot
Chef Steven is an amazing teacher and chef. The food was outstanding and we gained new insights on the craft of grilling techniques. Highly encourage this wonderful event.
My wife and I took the grilling class with six other people. Chef Steven is an excellent teacher, talented chef, and warm host. We were surprised by how much we learned and how much we enjoyed the experience. It was as much of a classroom as a friendly supper club. We will be taking more classes!
I've attended chef's classes in Italy, Napa and Aspen and I've always learned a lot that made me a better home cook. Chef Steven delivered a cooking class and demonstration + dinner that was well thought out, extremely informative, well organized and on par with those elite cooking classes (at a fraction of the price and in a homey atmosphere, which was amazing). I would highly recommend it if you'd like to elevate your grilling game (not the same as BBQ turns out!) and want to have a delicious experience!
Chef Steven was a great instructor and host! We learned a lot about how to get the perfect grill and three different preparation methods. We’ve already implemented what we learned at home. This was lots of fun and a delicious meal!
Chef Steven puts on a master class on the art of Grilling (not to be confused with BBQ) starting with the basics of what grilling is, and isn’t, and the science behind the different techniques. From start to finish this was a wonderful experience with excellent food, and good conversation. Chef Steven has a really varied background and incorporates teaching methods with cooking. 🧑🍳 Highly recommend this experience
Thank you to Chef Steven for showing the group such a wonderful time. We talked about prepwork, seasoning techniques, and how to grill at high heat. We ate and talked together, and it was a wonderful experience with great food and company
Class took place at Chef Stevens lively home. The food and recipes were amazing! Lots of class participation, and I learned so much! I will definitely be back!
