Hank Shaw nominated for a James Beard award!

Hank Shaw, blog author of Hunter Angler Gardener Cook was just announced as a nominee for a James Beard award!

Back when I first started this blog, Hank graciously sent me an encouraging e-mail–the first, if I recall correctly–which was exactly what I needed at the time.  He’s also been kind enough to post comments here, and they’ve been beyond insightful every time.

About Hank:

I write. I fish. I dig earth, raise plants, live for food and kill wild animals. I drink bourbon, Barolo or Budweiser with equal relish and wish I owned a farm. But most of all I think daily about new ways to cook and eat anything that walks, flies, swims, crawls, skitters, jumps – or grows. I am the omnivore who has solved his dilemma. This is my story.

I’m sitting here, pom-poms in hand.  Best of luck Hank!  To those of you who’ve never visited his website, click here and thank me later.  You’ll be reading for a while and staring at gobs of amazing pictures.  It’s okay.  I can wait.

    Thanks a heap, Ryan! No matter how it goes, at least I get to go to Manhattan — now to try and score a ressie to Le Bernardin…

    The man himself. Hank, I’m looking at taking a gun safety course and hunting at some point this year. All thanks to you.

    The next time we visit California, dinner at Incanto is on me!
