The Wildgame Gourmet w/ Larry White
I am very excited to announce our podcast with Larry White, to discuss his storied career as a chef and his most recent project and website, Wildgame Gourmet, which he says, is a a great way "to share my love for wild game, different cooking techniques and recipes that I've learned over the years with fellow hunters. Doing so with hopes of showing that wild game is delicious and can be the star of the kitchen as it once was in the past."
Larry is a hunter, avid outdoorsman and former restaurant chef whose life revolves around food and being in wild places. He grew up in the foothills of North Carolina spending his childhood hunting, fishing and walking the woods as much as possible. He was also lucky enough to grow-up beside his grandma, who was a phenomenal cook, and the person that ultimately inspired him to become a chef.
Larry started his professional cooking career in the US Coast Guard as a Culinary Specialist in 2003, before going back to college and obtaining a bachelors degree in Culinary Arts. He went on to work in Charleston, South Carolina in fine dining establishments such as The Ocean Room at Kiawah Island, Peninsula Grill and Circa 1886, while also working as a personal chef on the side.
HE ended up reaching his goals of owning and operating a restaurant and food truck. But after spending over a decade in hectic fast paced kitchens and starting a small family, he knew he wanted to get back to my roots, which is being in the outdoors.
So, he and his family packed up, left the city and moved to a rural coastal countryside town on their very own "Back-40". That gave them all a better opportunity to live off of the land, eat loads of wild game & fresh seafood and raise their children in an outdoor oriented environment.
"After trying out some of my recipes, I hope that you will spread the good word to help influence more folks to get outdoors and bring their hard earned harvests back to the kitchen."
