Dry Aging and the USA

This week, Jon and Austin finally try some dry-aged steaks from the cow they split and discuss how the dry-aging process affects flavor, tenderness, and overall eating experience.

To wrap things up, the guys discuss their favorite presidents.

A Sit Down with Marshall Starks

This week, Jon talked with Marshall Starks, the first Regional Director for Pass It On | Outdoor Mentors, for a great conversation built around hunting, service, and meat processing.

It’s a unique mix of wild game, personal background, and lighthearted conversation.

Catching Up with Jeremiah Doughty

This week, Jon talks with Jeremiah Doughty from Field to Plate for a laid‑back conversation about what he’s been up to since the last time they talked. Jeremiah shares more of his journey as a wild game chef, including how his path into hunting and cooking began after developing an allergy to beef that pushed him toward harvesting and preparing his own wild game. They revisit his mission of helping others learn to hunt, butcher, and cook their own meat through his content and hands‑on classes, along with how his platform has continued to grow over the years.
