Speaking of videos, look for my 45 minute Thanksgiving Q&A lecture to drop this Thursday at noon PST. It was shot at a culinary boot camp around thanksgiving a few years ago, and I just found it in my archives.
Messing around with a Peking Turkey. If everything goes well, it will be turned into an upcoming video for your thanksgiving cooking consideration.

Coming Soon ...
I just had a crazy idea, let me know if anyone is interested. I'm sitting on an entire series of lecture videos I did at an in person Culinary Bootcamp I held in 2013. This Bootcamp was the basis for the creation of my F-STEP Curriculum.
The class was capped at 12 people, and tuition was $2199 a head (not including hotel room and airfare).
I'm thinking about releasing the videos here, on the Stella Culinary YouTube Channel, free of charge, in hopes that people will watch them, share them, and really embrace my F-STEP philosophy and approach to cooking. I could then do follow up live Q&A segments in the group that would answer 'student questions' and create ongoing discussions.
I think it could be a lot of fun, (and very educational), but I don't know if this is something ya'll are even interested in.
What say you?
My name is Jacob Burton, and I've been working as a chef in the hospitality / culinary field for about two decades, starting my career in San Francisco while attending the California Culinary Academy. At the time of writing this (November 2019), I'm the Executive Chef & Beverage Director of The Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel, a project I helped open in April of 2017.
Prior to that, I was the opening Executive Chef of Stella Restaurant and The Cedar House Sport Hotel, where I worked for 5 years. While there, I rebranded my culinary education site, Free Culinary School (FCS) as Stella Culinary, a website I still maintain today.
My true passion is teaching others how to cook, through podcasts and videos, which is why this channel exists. If you haven't already, check out the Stella Culinary School Podcast, and watch my Culinary Boot Camp Lecture series found on this channel!
Thanks for checking out my channel!
