Looks more like a poutine tasting tour (Québécois cuisine) with a loud snotty (colourful and larger-than-life ) chef. :D
 
I know this fella is into rich, heavy food and serves a lot of foi gros in his restaurant.

I am not into heavy food, but I will watch his show because I like his whole concept of encouraging people to eat real and natural food.

Traditional French cuisine involves a lot of butter and cream, just loads and loads of it. If it is fatty then it is French :)

However this show looks cool, hopefully it is not one of those BBQ ones where everyone just yells at the camera.
 
Just watching it now, he is out with some trappers.

He doesn't seem like much of an outdoorsman, but he's making some "interesting" food.

They made grouse grilled cheese sandwiches-

Fry bacon
remove
Cook grouse breasts in bacon fat
Remove
Deglaze pan with beer, add roasted garlic
Slice grouse breast, add to pan to just mix
Apply dijon to 2 slices of bread (looks like real nice bread, too)
place grouse breast, bacon and cheese on bread
Apply butter (large amounts) to outside of bread
grill over a fire

It looked delicious, (although a fat bomb!!) :)

Now they are BBQing muskrat.

I like this guy...
 
Jut made a type of jugged hare (rabbit with red wine)

And they did it old school, using blood for the sauce. (I don't even think that is legal in a restaraunt these days, not even in Quebec!):)

Anyway, if you are part of a group and one of your members is the type that likes to hunt a bit, but mostly hang by the campfire and make dinner, etc...Get him to watch this show.

Not much good for those that like to go in light, backpack and eat Mountain House meals, though...(Although- back at base camp, after a 7-10 day trip in the high country, whipping up some of this stuff would make even your feet feel good!!):)
 
I thought the partridge grilled cheese looked delicious. The blood sauce looked gross when he was making it, but pretty good when he was eating it.

They are hard to listen to, but I will watch the show again.
 
I have a Chef friend that wanted to do something like this. Although he wanted to go in shoot prep and eat solo or with one helper. Good concept(so it would seem). I introduced him to a producer who has a couple of shows on FTV but I think they were both too drunk to get the deal done. I was slated to be the "helper". Face for Radio my a$$!
 
Watched this show the other day...will be watching it again .
I liked how they did most of their cooking over a camp fire ..at least in the only segment that I saw ...partridge ,muskrat, frozen rabbit .
