Episode 4: We had one of Austin’s most respected chefs and outdoorsmen at the counter, Jesse Griffiths of Dai Due. Earning a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand AND a MICHELIN Green Star

From fishing as a kid to hunting, whole-animal butchery, James Beard winning books, and building one of the most thoughtful food philosophies in Texas. Jesse’s perspective on food runs deep.

We talked:🔥 Hunting, fishing, and respecting the full life of an animal🔥 Pecan-fed wild hogs and why stress changes flavor🔥 Writing cookbooks, self-publishing, and creative control🔥 Teaching through butchery classes and passing knowledge forward🔥 Turkey hunting psychology (it’s way harder than you think)🔥 Sustainability, invasive species, and feeding people responsibly🔥 And yes… he ate his way through a mini omakase with me
