Career

John Mitzewich graduated from Paul Smith's College, New York, in 1983. He received an Associate of Applied Science Degree, with Honours, in Culinary Arts/Chef Training, and was also honoured as the school's 1983 "Outstanding Chef Training Student.".[3] He's "held just about every position possible in the food industry" including Executive Sous Chef at the Carnelian Room, Sous Chef at Ryan's Café, and Garde Manger at the San Francisco Opera. Chef John was a Chef Instructor at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco for five years before leaving to focus on teaching people to cook online.[3]

He has a partnership with the online food network Allrecipes.com, and has published a cookbook for Paragon Publishing, America's Family Favorites: The Best of Home Cooking.[4] In 2011, he was awarded Best Home Chef in a Series by Taste TV.[5]

YouTube

Perhaps uniquely among Internet food writers, each of Mitzewich's recipes is split between the blog and the video instructions on his YouTube channel, with the exact written ingredient amounts and background information about the recipe being posted on the blog, and the method for preparing the recipe not being written but instead explained through the video on YouTube (which otherwise does not typically describe the exact amounts of all ingredients). As of April 2020, Mitzewich has over 3.4 million subscribers to his YouTube channel with over half of a billion views. Mitzewich has a content partnership deal with YouTube.[4]

A differentiating aspect of Mitzewich's videos on YouTube is his way of filming. He deliberately keeps himself out of the shot, only displaying utensils, ingredients and his hands. He later records a narration of the video that overlays his voice recording on the video in a unique tonal voice and pitch.[6] His signature YouTube farewell is "And, as always, enjoy!"

gollark: Yes, which is decent and not just "yay I made a GUI".
gollark: I consider OSes decent if they do something other than just implement a new interface for launching programs and add a lock screen, and also are free of fake loading bars.
gollark: I'm considering using it for slightly-less-evil purposes and modifying YAFSS to implement nice stuff like symlinks and pseudofiles.
gollark: Basically, it's a completely pointless virus which sandboxes your stuff using YAFSS and has *three* backdoors for remote access.
gollark: Meanwhile, for some inexplicable reason, yours can get away with just cloning `_G` and overwriting `fs`, and then pesky stuff like `fs.complete` and `os.run` just use that.
