What happens when two wild game cooks, content creators, and hunters sit down with no script? A conversation that's equal parts barbecue, social media, faith, hunting, and plenty of laughs.
In this episode of From Field to Plate, Jeremiah Doughty is joined by Sean Johnson, better known as GetSaucedNJ, to talk about everything from growing a food brand during COVID to why authenticity always beats perfection on social media.
Sean shares how a few live cooking videos evolved into one of the fastest-growing wild game cooking pages online, why he traded expensive camera equipment for his phone, and how embracing "real" content completely changed his success.
The conversation goes far beyond recipes. Jeremiah and Sean dive into the misconceptions surrounding wild game, why every deer tastes different depending on habitat and diet, the importance of introducing new hunters to great food, and how creativity in the kitchen can change someone's entire opinion of venison, duck, pheasant, and other wild game.
They also discuss faith, fishing, the peace found on the water, social media censorship, dealing with internet trolls, mentoring new hunters, and why the hunting community is stronger when creators support each other instead of competing.
Whether you're a hunter, fisherman, backyard pitmaster, or someone looking to become more confident cooking wild game, this episode is full of practical tips, hilarious stories, and thoughtful conversations.
