Summary
In this episode of Field to Feast, host Jed Conklin sits down with Chef Chad White to talk about what happens when a classically trained chef steps into the woods as a beginner.
Chad opens up about the trials and tribulations of learning to hunt later in life—his first bear hunt, first turkey hunt, and shooting a monster first buck—along with the frustration, humility, and eventual success that came with each one. We talk about missed opportunities, hard lessons, and the moments that made it all click.
The conversation goes deeper than tags punched. Chad shares how hunting reshaped his relationship with food, changed the way he thinks about sourcing ingredients, and ultimately altered the direction of his life and career. What started as curiosity became commitment—and today, time outdoors is no longer a hobby, but a core part of his profession and identity.
This episode is about learning from scratch, earning perspective, and discovering that the path to better food sometimes starts with getting uncomfortable in the field.
