In this episode Taylor Maples and Josh Stratton are joined by MeatEater's renowned wild game chef and James Beard Award winner Jesse Griffiths. Beginning in the restaurant business, Jesse's entry into hunting happened backwards from most of us--rather than looking for things to do with his harvests, he set out to find locally and intentionally sourced supplies for his recipes. The result? One of the most popular and unique restaurants in Austin, TX, an active voice in conservation, and a place among the biggest names and brands in the Outdoors Industry. Listen to hear Jesse tell the story of how his restaurant and New School for Traditional Cookery came to be, share some tips and tricks for processing wild game at home, and challenge our listeners to fall in love with the entire process of hunting--not just the kill.
