Show notes

Wildlife biologist turned recent culinary graduate.
Johnathan O'Dell, from an early age was gifted two interconnected passions in life, one from each of his parents. Gathering wild foods with a rod and gun from his father and cooking that which I harvested from his mother. This allowed John to experience first-hand whole animal butchery, respect for ingredients, and nose-to-tail eating, as well as dynamic creativity and innovation required in the kitchen. This led to a successful career as a wildlife biologist, to give back to the wild things and wild places that give so much. But now, He has a desire to become a better student of gastronomy with the opportunity to learn and grow. This carried Johnathan to Argentina to study the culinary world South of the equator.
Adventures and knowledge are just a few of the characteristics this mountain of a man shares on this new episode of Cooking Up a Story.
