Mitzewich 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.
[9] A unique aspect of Mitzewich's cooking is the inclusion of powdered cayenne pepper in almost every recipe.
[10] He describes the addition of the spice as giving an "extra touch of the heat and bringing the unique tastes of the dishes forward".
[citation needed] In 2019, Mitzewich and his wife moved to Sebastopol, California, where the two purchased a home.
Mitzewich has used the community tab on his YouTube channel to provide updates on the home's renovation.
