Student Reviews
“As a member of the first Foundation’s Class offered by One Oak Barbecue, I can tell you that it was a blast. I feel confident that Stephen is teaching because of his love for outdoor cooking and desire to share with others.
This class, because of the teacher’s interaction, and the interaction with other class members, offers a chance to elevate your backyard barbecuing, pop-up events, or catering events. All you have to do is be open to guidance. Here’s hoping they have continued success, and you get to be a part of it!”
-Terry Rhone
“Before this class I would look things up or get ideas from YouTube videos.
This felt like being in one of those videos, pretty cool!”
-Carlton Shipley
“It's obvious that Stephen has taken a lot of time and effort in planning out this class.
From the itinerary, equipment, food, and recipes, it shows that he is a master of his craft.
I'd highly recommend this class to anyone, of any knowledge level, that loves to cook barbecue.
