I was amazed with this course. I would recommend it to anyone. Chefs were very masterful in explaining the courses. Loved the breakdown on different types on grill charcoal, wood, and gas and how to prepare them for cooking. The Chefs going over the seasonings and herbs was splendid. The meal prepared was beautiful, so many different types of country styles of cooking and meal prep. Turkey on the grill was my favorite. I would give this course six stars, however; the flies. The flies were unsettling crawling over prep station and presentation area. In one demonstration the flies actually crawled onto the meat. Any Chef would be insulted having insects in their kitchen or prepping areas. I wouldn't eat any meal prepared in this video. I know my kitchen is clean and will try this meals there.If you can ignore the flies the knowledge and information in this course is worth it.

Didn't learn much of anything
Bill certainly isn't the best communicator not instructor.
