Tyler Jordan on 40 Years of Realtree — What's Cookin' with The McLemore Boys

A Fire Took His Shop, Not His Faith — What's Cookin' with The McLemore Boys

Episode 25 of What's Cookin' with The McLemore Boys. John Browning built custom cabinets for a living — until a broken turkey call for his daughter turned into a business he never planned on. Nine years later, he's lost his co-founder, watched his cabinet shop burn to the ground, and built something he calls "a ministry disguised as a turkey call company." This one's a full ride: grief, faith, and a turkey hunt in Wyoming that got them all talking about what it really means to give something over to God.

The night before the Freedom 250 bus unveiling at Talladega, the boys sit down trackside with the pit crew that's been hauling 500 pounds of beef and running the smoker all week.
