Andrew love all of your work. Was just curious how you eat your popcorn, add ins, etc.

Wanted to know what your take is on the gravy vs sauce thing. Being a first-generation Sicilian, calling sauce “gravy” is worse than putting ketchup on a hot dog. I had never even heard that term until I moved from Detroit to South Jersey. Anyway...have opinion on this long-standing argument?

Hey Andrew, As an aside, I hunt the property you filmed Bizarre Eats and were catching muskrats with Justin and Rhonda Aaron. You can see one of the deer stands in the background. If you ever want to hunt sika deer we can help! I am the camp cook for our hunting club mainly because I just love to do it. One of our members recently had heart surgery and for all of our sakes I plan to try to lighten our meals while still having them elevated and something you would eat at a hunting camp. Are there any good books or websites that have healthy side dish recipes that would pair well with version, waterfowl, fish etc.
Over 40 years ago my grandmother would popcorn in a Stir Crazy and have nothing but salt on it and it was the most delicious thing in the world! She had an old metal bowl almost as big as the table and we would gather round after church on Sunday nights and gobble it up while catching up with the family. (Occasionally we would have White Castles instead of popcorn but hey, we are from Indiana!) One day she sprinkled taco seasoning on the popcorn - YUM! Then chili seasoning the next time - OMG!! I will definitely buy some of your seasonings, Andrew, and get right to it!! Time to elevate the family tradition!
Just popped on to say YES!! To Fiesta blend on popcorn. It’s delicious, perfectly spicy. And while I’m here…Wild game Kitchen…is so good. I do fish, have never hunted, but it is so interesting to watch how you are using those various wild meats. You definitely look like you are in your happy place cooking on those cool grills in that spectacular setting. Lake. Cabin. Trees. Fire. 🥰
