James Beard Award Finalist Yia Vang Cooking Invasive Species as a Delicacy

DENVER (September 23, 2024) – The highly anticipated third season of Feral is set to premiere on the Outdoor Channel on September 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET. This season promises new culinary challenges and hunting adventures with renowned chef and host, Yia Vang. Feral highlights the wilderness adventure, thrill of the chase and exploration of less-traditional hunted species with a fun host and engaging guests that are in search of unique and wonderful food prepared by Vang, a James Beard Award finalist and master chef.

A trained chef, avid traveler, angler and hunter, Vang is always up for a culinary challenge. He has been named Best Chef in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) multiple times and has been featured on CNN’s United Shades of America, in the pages of National Geographic and graced the cover of the May 2020 issue of Bon Appetit.

Each 30-minute episode will feature Vang arriving in a new location, identifying an invasive species and coming up with a plan for catching and cooking it. Often with the help of a local expert who will guide him on his quest. Vang will do whatever it takes to create an amazing and unusual meal by the end of every episode.

“I am especially proud of this season as I am feeling stronger as a host and am anticipating how to best gel with the local guides to make the most out of every episode,” shared Vang. “Of course the crew wanted to replicate me getting bit by a snake again, like what happened in season one of Feral, but I was a bit wiser this time around with all the animal species we encountered.”

Season Three Highlights

• Texas Bayou Alligator Gar and Bullfrogging Adventure:

This season, Yia Vang takes on the daunting task of hunting alligator gar near Houston, Texas, where the ratio of alligators to humans is an astonishing 10 to 1. The episode also features a bullfrogging adventure, conducted at night amidst the lurking presence of alligators. "Nature never plays well," Vang remarks, emphasizing the unpredictable and dangerous aspects of the hunt.

• Connection with Indigenous Culture in New Mexico:

Another standout episode sees Vang traveling to New Mexico to hunt on Indigenous land. Vang and his team are only the fourth camera crew allowed on this sacred land. Here, they hunt prairie dogs and jackrabbits, and Vang forms a deep connection with the tribal elders as they share their respective cultures and traditions of living off the land. He prepares a unique dish of braised prairie dog with locally sourced green chilies, which he suggests serving over rice and corn.

• Catfish Noodling in Oklahoma:

Vang ventures into the adventurous and somewhat nerve-wracking world of catfish noodling in Oklahoma. In this adrenaline-pumping episode, he successfully catches catfish using only his hands, despite the challenges and playful pranks from the crew. Locals instruct Vang to marinate the catfish in Mountain Dew, adding an unexpected twist to the preparation.

• Northern Pike Fishing on Lake Minnetonka:

The season also features an episode from Lake Minnetonka, back in Vang’s home turf, where he catches his largest northern pike to date, measuring 31-32 inches. He shares his preferred method of roasting the pike whole and then using the trimmed fillets in various dishes such as salads.

Throughout the season, Yia relies on his trusty Nomad Grill, which he takes everywhere, ensuring that he can prepare delectable dishes no matter where his adventures take him.

The Outdoor Channel original series Feral will air during Monday nights “Taste of the Wild” programming block at 7:30 p.m. ET.

About Yia Vang: One of seven siblings, Chef Yia Vang was born in a Thai refugee camp where he lived until his family resettled in central Wisconsin. A trained chef who started his career working as a dishwasher, Yia uses food to tell a story and believes that every dish has a narrative. Through sourcing what’s in season and combining local traditions with those from his family and cultural traditions, the former “Iron Chef” participant brings Hmong flavors to American palates and invites people to change how they think about food by considering the influences in each bite. His new restaurant concept Vinai, slated to open in 2023 in Northeast Minneapolis, will celebrate his parents’ legacy and tell his family’s story through food.

DENVER (September 19, 2024) –  The Outdoor Channel proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, marking three decades of excellence in outdoor programming. To commemorate this significant milestone, Tom McMillan, renowned host of the popular TV series McMillan, shares his insights and experiences, reflecting on the evolution of outdoor television and its impact on viewers worldwide.

Tom McMillan has witnessed remarkable changes in outdoor programming over the years his TV series, McMillan, has ran. "Two things come to mind when I think of this," says McMillan. "One is the sheer number of different shows that have been available to watch and the other major change is the variety of programming—in both show structure and content. Viewers’ tastes have expanded over the years on what they want to watch, and producers have headed that call.”

McMillan also acknowledges that the advancements in technology have played a pivotal role in transforming how outdoor shows are produced and consumed today. "Improvements to technology and the quality of the equipment we use as producers and videographers have had the most significant impact on the quality of the shows we can produce," McMillan explains. "Additionally, the need for each individual show to remain relevant and keep a strong viewer base has driven the evolution of content. Variety in content is key."

Reflecting on the evolution of his own show, McMillan emphasizes the importance of change and adaptation. "My idea for the overall series arc of 'McMillan' is to show the ever-changing and busy stories that occur in the outdoor lifestyle that I am lucky enough to live. The evolving change comes within the content of each episode from season to season. The overall theme is to show my day-to-day life of hunting, ranch and farm work, guiding hunts, and family."

Over the years, McMillan has created countless cherished memories for both its host and viewers. "Without a doubt, one of my favorite memories is when my son Gatlin shot his first deer using a crossbow at the age of six. That episode aired several years ago, and it is still my favorite," he shares. Furthermore, collaborations with notable guests, such as the legendary Ted Nugent, have brought unforgettable experiences to the show.

As the Outdoor Channel celebrates its 30th anniversary, McMillan reflects on the significance of this milestone. "Pride is the word that comes to mind. I am proud of the industry itself for being able to create hunting, fishing, and outdoor lifestyle shows for its viewers. Thank goodness OSG has always seen the importance and value of producing shows that promote our way of life. I have been lucky to be a small part of it."

"There are a lot of platforms out there that could be a vehicle, but I think it is important to work with people who understand you, your purpose, and your goals. I feel Outdoor Channel does that,” he concludes.

Join Outdoor Channel in celebrating 30 years of excellence in outdoor programming. Follow along with Tom McMillan and crew of McMillan as they continue to share their adventures.

New Series Featuring Live Fire Cook and Professional Carnivore Jess Pryles Debuts During "Taste of the Wild" Monday Nights

DENVER (September 5, 2024) – Explore ways to hunt, butcher and cook all types of protein with Hardcore Carnivore, a new original series starring professional carnivore and chef Jess Pryles, premiering on Outdoor Channel on Monday, September 23 at 9:30 p.m. ET. Hardcore Carnivore is part of the network’s "Taste of the Wild" Monday night lineup.

Hardcore Carnivore, in partnership with Pendleton Whisky, dives deep into the world of meat—from commercial to small farm meat raising—and explores the best ways to hunt, butcher, and cook all types of protein. The show features hunting adventures, including a spectacular elk hunt in Idaho's Snake River area, as well as educational segments like deer captures with live nets in South Texas at the East Foundation.

An Epic Adventure

One of the standout episodes features an elk hunt in the Snake River area of Eastern Idaho. Pryles teams up with great friend and mentor Shaundi Campbell for an unforgettable adventure. Hunting the rim of an extinct volcano, Pryles has opportunities to push her own limits to bag an elk. With the pressure of a film crew and cameras rolling, the moment was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. “We also get into some hog hunting and dove hunting with my husband,” shared Pryles. “You really get to see a glimpse into my life. We don’t have a formula for the show; it is just as real and genuine as we can possibly be out there dishing what we are passionate about.”

A Blend of Fun and Education

The show aims to provide a genuine glimpse into Pryles’ life, blending humor, passion for grilling, and a love for the outdoors.

"I've always been fascinated by the science behind meat and the different ways it's raised. That’s one of the reasons I completed my Meat Science certificate from University of Iowa," said Pryles. “The Outdoor Channel has given us the incredible opportunity to share our adventures and stories with a broader audience. From the intense hunts to lighthearted moments, we hope to bring something unique and authentic to our viewers."

If the name “Hardcore Carnivore” rings a bell, it’s because Pryles also started a seasoning company of the same name about eight years ago. “The spices allowed us to say, ‘Here put this on your steak. This is what I think steak should taste like,” she shares. “We are in stores like Academy, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Faraway Meats and all across the world. When I first put the rub out, I crossed my fingers thinking that if my core customers who buy T-shirts will buy this rub it will be a fun experiment. Here we are with nine seasonings in the line and a full line of accessories that are all created by me based off things that I use in my kitchen.”

Jess Pryles is a Hardcore Carnivore and she's traveling the country, where she'll meet up with locals specializing in her favorite proteins. From dove hunting in Texas to harvesting Bison in Wisconsin and the delicious meals that she teaches us how to cook, it's an epic meat-eating adventure like no other. Follow her on Instagram @JessPryles and Hardcore Carnivore @HardcoreCarnivore.
