Brian Malarkey discusses opening Hawkeye & Huckleberry Lounge in his Oregon hometown, a cowboy-inspired restaurant he built with his brother that has quickly become a lively community hub. The chef reflects on how the project brought him back to his roots and sparked a “ranch to plate” philosophy, complete with CBD-fed cattle, a custom butcher shop, and a deep commitment to local sourcing. Brian opens up about his new role as host of Cutthroat Kitchen: Knives Out, a reboot he describes as equal parts entertainment and education. He talks about designing sabotage challenges that are grounded in real-world cooking scenarios, all set within a high-energy kitchen arena where both chaos and creativity thrive. The chef touches on his personal transformation, including his journey to sobriety and the launch of a new podcast with his partner, centered on growth, connection, and living life with intention.
