The Sporting Chef

We mix a passion for the outdoors and wild game

The bar is open! Chef Leysath is cooking with booze in this clip from The Sporting Chef. He’s got a boozy take on a cut of venison from the hindquarter. 

The first generation of The Sporting Chef launched in 2001 with Scott Leysath as the host and co-producer with 4 Mile Post. After a 20-year stint with this award-winning series, Leysath passed the hosting duties to Stacy Lynn Harris, a frequent contributor to the show. Best-selling cookbook author, lawyer, wife, and mother of seven Stacy Lyn Harris gives a contemporary Southern twist to fish and game preparation.
