🔥 WILD GAME WEDNESDAY 🔥

HERE COMES THE ROOOOOOSTER!

This week, Lance Lewis shows us how to turn fresh-harvested pheasant into crispy, golden schnitzel served over buttery spätzle and topped with rich mushroom gravy. Finished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, this is wild game comfort food at its finest. There’s nothing better than bringing the harvest from the field straight to the table.

Follow our friend @taggedoutkitchen ! He killed it with this recipe 🍽️

"OLIVE OIL" is quite possibly the most misused term in cooking. 💯

I see it all the time where someone is telling you to use "olive oil" to sear a steak and they themselves or those who misinterpret it, use EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. 🤯

At so many of my private events, the majority of patrons are dumbfounded to learn there is not only a different in olive oils, but that extra virgin isnt the better option in most cases.

"All the fancy TV chefs use it, so thats what I use"

The name lends itself to appear the best quality, and it most certainly is in the right application/cooking method.

Admittedly, I used to misuse EVOO as well until I learned the differences of the varieties of Olive Oil (Regular, light, light virgin, extra virgin, amongst others I'm sure).

This simple trick of making the switch to plain Olive Oil will dramatically effect your cooking. Taste, texture, and so much more. 💯

To be clear, I use EVOO all the time! Just not for high temp sautéeing, searing, frying, etc. 🫡

I'll be posting a couple more simple tips for elevating your cooking in the kitchen. Stay tuned!

🔥 Wild Game Wednesday! 🔥 This week @wildgameandfish is turning venison shanks into a fall-off-the-bone Korean-style braise loaded with kimchi, baby potatoes, carrots, and rich broth. Low, slow, and packed with flavor—the perfect way to make the most of those tougher cuts of wild game. 🦌🍲

This Wild Game Wednesday, @derekbha turned Canada Goose into something seriously addictive: crispy Goose Sauerkraut Meatballs. 🪿🔥 Packed with ground goose, these bite-sized wild game appetizers bring big flavor to the table. Fry them until perfectly golden and serve warm with Thousand Island dressing for the ultimate dip. From the field to the table, this is wild game done right. 🏔️🔪

Stop squirreling around and just let it rip. Hard-cider braised grey squirrel with chicken mushroom, cinibar red chanterelle, and freshly harvested shitake mushrooms. Some herbs and onion from the garden and its a winner!

From the uplands to the dinner table, this Grouse Bruschetta Bake is the kind of recipe that makes the most of a hard-earned bird. 🪶🔥 Tender grouse, tomatoes, artichokes, Italian seasoning, cornbread stuffing, and melted cheese come together for a hearty meal that brings the flavors of the field straight home. It’s simple, comforting, and a perfect way to turn wild game into something the whole family can gather around. That’s field to table. 🦃🍽️

Homemade gnocchi and wild turkey meatballs with basil pesto. Most everything in this meal was either grown or harvested/hunted by us.

We used my good friend Jeff's @wildgameandfish recipe for the meatballs. If you are a hunter or angler, you need to check Jeff's recipes out!
