On today’s episode, we chat with Michael Hunter, a chef, hunter, forager, and the co-owner of Antler Kitchen & Bar, a restaurant that specializes in cooking and serving game species in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I chat with Michael about how writing and publishing “The Hunter Chef Cookbook” inspired him to open his own restaurant and he shares some ideas about cooking a couple favourite species. On the conservation segment, we revisit the Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) Conservation Initiative and discuss a recent scientific paper that evaluated Y2Y’s success in contributing to biodiversity conservation targets.
