The first official hunt I ever went on was in Arkansas with the Commissioner of Fish and Game. He was the family of a friend of mine, and I was told that hunting with him was something people bid on at auctions. Down in Arkansas, he was a bigger deal than the President of the…
It seems impossible that I'm finally writing this. But I am.
Two years ago I set out on a personal odyssey. I had grown up in the country where I fished and foraged, and used my hands, but now night after night in the corporate world, sitting blurry-eyed, scrutinizing excel spreadsheets and watching the cafeteria…
I'm about to embark on a hunting odyssey for my next book. Somehow I'm going to weave it in and out of my "Food Heroes" book tour this fall. Somehow.
And that's where YOU come in.

It comes from a charming chocolate factory called Charles Chocolates in Emeryville, California.
His things are…
It's time for the big dove hunt in Lake Village, Arkansas! I plan to eat a lot of roasted dove this weekend. And tamales. But I will only be hunting for dove, not tamales. Those will come from Rhoda who ties them up in perfect little corn husks. Yes, she and I will be eating roasted…
