BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep.49: Eduardo Garcia, chef and co-founder, Montana Mex

Eduardo Garcia grew up free roaming in the Montana backcountry north of Yellowstone National Park, in the company of elk and bison and native trout. The son of a Mexican fisherman and a teacher, he learned to cook because he needed a job but found his life’s passion in the work – and in the hunting and fishing and foraging that provided the finest ingredients for the dishes he loved the most.

1st Rendezvous Take Away

Thursday May 2nd I found myself far away from home in Boise, Idaho for the 2019 BHA Rendezvous. A long ways from South Florida, this trip brought me further west than I had ever been before. As if the distant snow capped mountains surrounding the city weren't inspiring enough, the people I would meet and listen to over the course of the next few days would give me a charge well worth the time and expense of distant travel. I had the great pleasure of meeting many folks from around the ...
