Highlights
- 5909 SE 77th Ave - We will be cooking and eating some of the best grilled food of your life! We’ll begin by learning about preparation methods for various proteins (brining, dry rub, marinating) to ensure juicy, flavorful results. Then we’ll prepare sauces with your proteins to further enhance their flavor. And to close out the evening, we’ll make the entire meal on the grill for you to enjoy!
The class focuses on the science and the “why” behind grilling techniques. You’ll learn my “Golden Eight” rules for perfectly grilled proteins, and tips for searing and smoking like a pro!
While the weather in Portland can be unpredictable, our grilling patio is completely covered and we have outdoor heaters if the grill isn’t keeping us warm enough! We will hold the class regardless of weather.

Additional Information
I’m seasoned with over two decades of experience in grilling and BBQing, and have honed my skills internationally in countries like France, Spain, Argentina, Thailand, and South Korea, among others. Being a native of the Southern United States, I skillfully blend my culinary heritage with diverse and multicultural taste palettes. This culminates in a groundbreaking approach to grilling that seamlessly fuses traditional Southern recipes and techniques with exotic, foreign flavors, all backed by science. Having successfully conducted over 350 courses and received a stellar 5-star rating, I’m confident that you’ll exit my kitchen as an upgraded griller and more proficient chef!

Fun, delish, cozy eats and new learning! If science class had been like this… :) - Fun, hospitable, relaxed, social, educational, tasty, delicious new learning! Definitely picked up some key new grilling-cooking techniques (that I wish I’d learned 25 yrs ago, and am thrilled to know now!) and the science behind them, and learned so much about smells, textures, tastes and travels. Loved the cozy homey space, meeting Chef’s partner and pooch, and sharing stories.

Great Food, Friends & Learnings! - Our friends are continuing to rave about how much fun they had! The experience of shaping the menu, cooking with friends, learning the science, and being in a Chef’s home was all very special. The food was wonderful and we learned a lot — even with some experienced grillers.

Best Grilling Experience Ever! - I had the pleasure of participating in an Airbnb experience hosted by the incredibly kind, funny, and hugely talented Chef Steven. From the moment I arrived, his warm hospitality made me feel right at home.
Steven is hilarious which added so much fun to the experience. His talent is truly impressive, elevating the entire event to a memorable and unique level.
I highly recommend this Airbnb experience and would do it again. It's a fantastic way to connect with amazing individuals and create lasting memories. Thank you Chef Steven for making my experience so special!

This is a “Don’t miss!” Class! Fun, engaging and practical skills plus yummmmyy food! - Chef Steven is the best teacher.
Even the least confident cook will walk away feeling like a pro because the way he teaches makes you feel totally capable and equipped!
I always think delicious food is going to be so hard to make; but now I use his tips and recipes often, always feeling so good afterward!! If you’re looking for a non-traditional thing to do in Portland, this is it!! ❤️

So fun and informative! - This was such a fun night! We went as a team building experience and everyone loved it.! We all learned so much from Chef Steven and the dinner “we” made was amazing! I have already recommended this event to several people and I’ll be back as well. He taught us so many tips and tricks. I’ll never overcook pork chops again :) Highly recommend!
