Tennessee Morel Hunt with Chris Burger
Today we are setting the table with a good ole fashioned morel mushroom foraging in search of a wild food that delivers the umami taste. My guests are Chris Burger Farmer, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Century Harvest Farms Foundation in Greenback, TN. Chris was kind enough to invite me on a morel hunt for this mushroom that only appears from late March through the first few weeks of April annually in Tennessee. We also will be joined in the kitchen at Century Harvest Farms Foundation by Chef Robert Allen. He will share how he cooks morel mushrooms and what he pairs them with.
