Tenderloin. Is there anything better?
Please name it.
Go ahead... I'll wait...

That's what I thought.
Tenderloin...the stuff of Gods.
There were dozens of deer aging in Paul Michael's snazzy cement hanging room at deer camp. And he let me go in and pull the tenderloins from as many as I wanted. Christmas come early, I say! I…
It ain't pretty, but it's gooood.
Just remember as we go on this journey together that we believe in certain principles around here. That animal protein or vegetable protein, if you're going to eat, something has to die. And if I'm going to kill something in order to eat, then I want to use every part…
The Native Americans used to eat the warm heart of their prey in order to inherit their spirit. It was also a way to honor the animal, and use every part of it. So on my deer hunt in the Delta a few weeks ago, I decided to "go native."
And I'm glad I did. It…
Back to our regularly scheduled programming! Last time on "The Delta Deer Hunt," we roasted a whole hog on the grill and drank whiskey around the fire. To catch up, here are the first, second, and third installments.

That's my…
I just returned from a beautiful place. It was a deer hunting lodge along the Mississippi river near Lake Village, Arkansas. The weekend was filled with a remarkable set of characters from the surrounding south, a whole roasted pig dripping with molasses and bacon, good scotch and cigars, and good guitar playing. And it was…
Welcome to the final installment of my three part dinner series...
After a full day of hunting on the ranch, and a full day of cooking by Paul, we finally got to eat the fruits of our labor.
The ranch has a very beautiful interior, with lovely wood paneling and a cozy lodge atmosphere. The fireplace was…
Welcome to part two of my three part dinner series...
After we brought the hogs back to the ranch, Tim put them in a walk-in cooler. After debating, we decided to have the tenderloins for dinner rather than wait to let them age. So we brought them into the kitchen and got them ready for a…
