A former line cook and political reporter, Shaw now finds joy in hunting his own meat and harvesting his own crops -- and then writing about it all. Shaw's values parallel those of Old Major, which espouses the philosophy that food should be authentic and not raised in a factory farm. In honor of his latest cookbook, Duck, Duck, Goose: Recipes and Techniques for Cooking Ducks and Geese, Both Wild and Domesticated, Shaw will team up with the Old Major crew on everything from butchery to service for a dinner tonight.
Talking to Brunson about the event, he sounds ecstatic. "In this industry, chefs do not always get the opportunity to work with other great chefs one-on-one," he said. "I admire the work of Hank Shaw and I am looking forward to working with him, as well as learning a great deal."
The evening will feature a duck-inspired, four-course menu available from 5 to 10 p.m., prepared by. Tickets are $100, and include wine pairings for each dish as well as a copy of Shaw's cookbook, which is the number-one cookbook on Amazon.
For reservations, call the restaurant at 303-420-0622; you can preview the menu on the Old Major website.
