The Great MeatEater Outdoor Cooking Showdown

Steven Rinella talks with Brody Henderson, Janis Putelis, Alyssa Smith, Seth Morris, Randall Williams, Phil Taylor, and Corinne Schneider.
Topics discussed: At long last, MeatEater’s Outdoor Cookbook is here; whooping on an octopus; from elaborate show stoppers to elevated backcountry camp meals; how chimichurri goes on everything; why frying fish should only be an outdoor activity; smoking devilled eggs; counting the number of pulses applied to the fish cake mixture; arguing about what a monograph is; other words for hobo pie; how the char is perfect once the octopus legs have curled; cooking stuff on sticks; juicy blue cheese and bacon jam stuffed burgers; chowing down while podcasting; and more.

Randall has some serious comedy chops on him. He's always making everyone crack up. I hope hes around awhile.

The new T-shirt. " Flip it and whoop it". The image could be Steve's big octipie with a gaff

Who stole the fish out of the freezer?

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

I’m sure it was Cester, but Steve’s given him a pass because he’s a surrogate son…

[@samfoster4144]

In the UK we call it a toastie

Listened to about 5min of this and knew I had to wait to watch this episode

[@gagehunter8392]

Seeing the evolution of Steve is crazy. I feel like he has completely embraced being social influencer and is doing more than ever showing he is more than just a hunter and writer

[@mrspencerls]

Great advertising, I just ordered the cookbook

[@bradycohen5021]

We are so excited to put this book on our living room table. With all do respect, you needed a Kevin/KG or a professional chef for this episode. We greatly appreciate the content! This is my best attempt at a Steve sandwich aka…

[@Bobby.fishes]

These folks on here making Fish cakes, knowing damn well when a old single dude like me is going to be watching this on KZbin. Now it's almost 830 pm and I have no choice but to go get the ingredients while the fish thaws out . OK gotta go.

[@xprettylightsx]

Good for you man , i ask you to do nothing but concentrate on the enjoyment of life. Enjoy our freedoms. Enjoy our national sovereignty. we are no matter what anybody says, in my opinion, the greatest country in the world. May God bless you and your family. May God bless the United States of America. ? How did the fish recipe you made work out? Which one did you use?

[@ECregsOutdoors]

We just ordered it for our dad!

[@danielb.ransberger8872]

Dag nabbit! I just preordered Danille Prewetts cook book. I gotta wait till next month to order this!!! Only one cook book a month. It's a good thing next week is next month... :)

[@andrewcrowley6212]

Wisconsinite here. As for the "iron pie" debate, I always called them hobo pies but my wife has always used pudgie pie. Our favorite is always pizza style. Sauce, cheese, pepperoni. We'll do apple pie filling and cream cheese frosting for dessert. I've cooked steaks in them as well with great results. It even does a good job on a gutted and scaled panfish.

[@austinanderson836]

Yanis got that salt and pepper going I love it!

[@alanlechleidner6951]

NE Indiana. We called them pudgy pies. Hobo pie was savory ingredients usually mostly sliced potatoes, all in a double foil "envelope " usually directly on the coals

[@BikeThrottleOfficial]

Steve has a fancy digs! 🏠

[@daviddin8863]

Speaking of fish frying. Every Southeast Asian family has an outdoor kitchen setup.

[@voodoocruiser2543]

*instantly pre-orders book from Amazon Australia

[@ioannisvogiatzis]

In Greece people will tenderize it by the rocks at the beach, in a bucket, even putting it in a washing machine (one that's only used for octupuses of cource) also if you freeze it and thaw it you don't need to do this.

[@J-K-L-IV]

--- I saw them thrown in a washing machine on a dock in Tunisia. Hell of a way to tenderize the Octos. ---

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

Front or top load?

[@J-K-L-IV]

@@chickenfishhybrid44 , front.

[@nickmergener8308]

We've been doing smoked deviled eggs for years. There is no better way to make a deviled egg. However, I have found the best way to make them is to smoke the eggs instead of hard boiling them.

[@Bbuckshot2]

Having the video is great!

[@joejohnson275]

Seth used wood from the wrong side..lol

[@ph00z00]

foil hobo meals when i was in the scouts was just ground beef and canned veggies. in tin foil, and thrown onto the coals of the fire.

“I’ve never had moron coffee” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sampayne2473]

I'm sure we all know this, but it's called an Argentina style grill she used for the octopus.

[@redwade7803]

What boots is Steve wearing in this episode?

[@stulogan9455]

Fire cooking is the best

[@donemanuel6080]

In MN, they were pudgy pies.

[@J-K-L-IV]

--- Try octopus sous vide then seared. ---

[@michaelsmith1534]

Can't believe they didn't mention the Pizza Mountain Pie.

[@Grooveset]

Anyone know what first lite zip off the girl on the right is wearing?

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

If i recall correctly, the vertical spit style cooking they do in Mexico came there via Lebanese immigrants. Or at least that is an explanation i have heard.

[@keithkester8574]

Sorry I don’t mean to be that guy but my god Corrine is absolutely gorgeous. So is Steve’s back porch

[@banjobulldog]

Y’all need to colab with Cowboy Kent Rollins from KZbin

[@ryanmcc9732]

Dammit Steve your from the U.P. you know the dessert iron pies are called pudgy pies

[@TwitchGrip]

If you are going to cook in a barrel, you might want to know what that barrel was used for in the past. Motor oils, farm chemicals, etc. Thats why Ive never done that. Plus most of them are painted which aint fun to cook with paint fumes

[@scottearnst8152]

Great episode fellas , I am a meateater fan since forever (feels like)enjoying all the content , Cal , Janis , Steve , just really enjoy all the hunting and cooking content. Then the trivia is just too fun! This podcast is too fun, but I hate to sound or be creepy, but I must say Corrine is just such a beautiful woman, her hot denim pants are distracting. Sorry to say what I really think. You guys keep up the great work! Hello from northwest Missouri
