So after the hunt when I caught three wild pigs(two by chasing after them)… first time ever… I called Ori because last year we shaved one. Ori is used to having no hair so again I asked for his advice. 🙂 I know that the Hmong people use hot water and a knife to shave …
I’ve posted my original philosophy here, which also included Thomas Keller’s philosophy on the importance of Rabbits. I would like to expand and refine it because refinement is by definition improvement, no? I think every so often, it’s necessary to bring it around again and further it as The Pursuit grows and I grow. …

WARNING: [no train of thought here, get off stream of consciousness…chooo choo…gtfo if you don’t have wine in hand] Ever since I was little, I loved anchovies on my pizza. I must have been one of the odd ones because everyone would think… eww. I really didn’t (and still don’t) understand it. But looking back, …
Totally missed the SoCAL weather and nice beaches on my trip to Northern California for Wild Turkeys and Dungeness Crab.

Food is not just a product, it’s a process. Here is a 26 pound Bos Creek Prime Rib, dry aged 30 days…. cut some pita for starters salad Seasoning is one of my favorite parts of that process. And probably the most important to achieve the optimal taste from your ingredient. PS Why’s my wine …
There are few who like to see death. I…am not one of them. At least not for the sake of just seeing death. I grew up with animals – a beautiful pet rabbit, a jovial golden retriever who died too young. A Siamese fighting fish who fought himself in the mirror too hard. However, I …
“Happiness only real when shared.” –Christopher McCandless, Into the Wild Pursuit of Food is about going out and catching & making food and sharing it. I think that’s the step that we often miss as hunters or foodies or hardcore food pornographers. We take pictures of the beautiful food without showing the context – …
WOWWWW!!!!!! what an amazing dive in Palos Verdes. First, on the way to the dive, I hit every green light (there’s about 234510 of them on Hawthorne blvd). It’s not a big deal – it’s a friggen miracle. Then, I didn’t slip, fall, and eat shit on the way down the steep, slippery, sandy …
