Jesse Griffiths is a world-renowned chef and author based in Austin, Texas. His restaurant Dai Due is leading the way to what food should be - local, delicious, and nourishing. He also runs The New School of Traditional Cookery which teaches people how to hunt, butcher, and cook wild game.

We discuss Jesse’s journey through the restaurant business, what it means to “acknowledge the resource” as Jesse puts it and why this is the key to a healthy relationship with food, the land, and animals, the importance of having mentors, why he will not cut corners at his restaurant, why sourcing locally is a priority, why certain wild game such as wild hogs and audad are stigmatized, how hunting changes your perspective of food, how Jesse intentionally designed his restaurant, and more.
