A good roadtrip is full of surprises. Back in Austin I’m known for specializing in dietary restrictions. I’m the person you can count on to bring a vegan, gluten-free, paleo dish to a party so there’s something everyone can eat.
Imagine my surprise at Roadtrip Chris-Rachael becoming the chef who will cook any animal!
It started with finding a roadkill squirrel in a Pittsburg freezer. Dude totally thought he could freak me out. Nope. From there, well, since my hosts heard the saga of the freezer squirrel, I’ve cooked 14 different animals in as many months!
In addition to the usual beef, chicken, and turkey I’ve prepared in tons of cities, here’s the ongoing list of exotic animals!
- Antelope (Montana)
- Beef Bone Marrow (Spokane)
- Bison (N. California)
- Cornish Game Hens (Springfield, IL)
- Elk (N. California, Roswell NM)
- Goat (N. California)
- Lamb Bacon (Salt Lake City)
- Lamb Chops (Des Moines, Las Vegas)
- Leg of Lamb (N. California)
- Moose (Montana)
- Quail Eggs (Mesa)
- Squirrel (Pittsburgh)
- Venison (Montreal)
- Venison Bone Marrow (Montreal)
As I head to the Eastern Half of the United States, I’ve got a poultry-intensive wish list. If you’ve hunted any of these birds or know a butcher where we can pick some up, let’s try some tasty birds!
- Duck
- Ostrich
- Partridge
- Pheasant
- Quail
