"I think in the back of my mind, I think of commercial ranchers as the enemy," he says. "You know, hunters are just bloodthirsty. They don't care about nature... Nature is a playground for them." A good quality rancher understands what it takes to actually be stored to the land and how important that is, chef adds.
After a drop-in visit from the Podfather, who then proceeds to rejoice in the pleasures of populist food and culture, Dave and Chris speak with Tyler Huggins—CEO and cofounder of Meati Foods. He brings his unique point of view on environmentalism and sustainable food systems to address the problem of a potential global protein shortage with Meati: a meat alternative made out of mycelium. Other topics include ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (again), backcountry splitboarding, and what to do with a year’s worth of elk meat.
