“EVERYBODY EATS BACON BUT NO ONE WANTS TO STAB THE PIG” – THE WILD WITHIN

I want to urge you again to watch a really good new show on Travel. Yes. My own network. My friends and long time partners at Zero Point Zero Production have, for the last year, been humping up mountains and hanging from cliffs with an astonishingly interesting, articulate and foolhardy young man named Steven Rinella. He’s the author of a terrific book you might have read called “The Scavenger’s Guide to Haute Cuisine” and a correspondent for OUTSIDE magazine. The series they made together (to the usual ZPZ high standards), is called THE WILD WITHIN and a new episode airs, THIS SUNDAY at 9PM.

You know you’re not watching another ordinary travel and food show when the host, very early in the first episode, walks you through his apartment in Brooklyn, shows you a freezer, announces “It’s time to go get some meat”. Then flies to a remote part of Alaska to fill it up and feed his family.

Oh, yeah. And the guy can cook. His book, in which he hunts and scavenges for a 43 course Escoffier based menu was awesome enough. This show? Well…see for yourself. Let me stress that this is not your stereotypical hunter. This is a challenging, thought provoking, insightful–show. And at times scary.

This is a guy who CHOOSES to feed himself and his family (and his Brooklyn pals) in the most difficult ways possible–the way people everywhere used to have to do it. And we really see…REALLY see–where food comes from.

This is NOT a ‘survival’ drink-your-own-piss kind of show. This is the real deal. Steven is after the true original free-range, organic meats, at its finest. And he is NOT afraid to get stabby, which is always a good sign. “Everybody eats bacon, but no one wants to stab the pig.” Take a look:
