Grubbing with Grizzly

Grubbing with Grizzly Inspiring urban people who want to push their culinary envelope with a more rustic flavor. And by a large dinner party, I mean 53 people in attendance.

A few years ago, I held a large dinner party and made a lot of salmon. The guests told me I needed to start a cooking show on YouTube. I politely declined. As my life developed, I noticed there was something missing from my fellow Angelenos: a healthy appreciation for the outdoors. Their hikes were too easy, their adventures too urban. Part of my philosophy is that humans aren't meant to spend too

much time in the city. It creates a tiny comfort zone, which is more like a "confinement zone." I tried to get people to come on more strenuous or "out there" local hikes, and few would show up. I soon realized one of the easiest ways to get people to appreciate the outdoors, like any culture, is through food. Eventually, I decided this is something I want to do, and need to do. Beyond that, I firmly believe it needs to be done.

Wow. Hey, I’m back!

So we’re on week 9 of the Corona Quarantine, and we’re right on the cusp of barbecue season. That being said, I make a bombdiggity coffee rub. If you’d like your tri-tip to look like this, let me know. I’ll square you away.

And now that campsites and picnic areas are reopening, expect some good-good from there as time goes on.

Hey gang. Tribe? Peeps? Get ready for a chilly adventure. As you all know, I love cold weather, I love the mountains. They come with unique, awesome challenges that you'd expect from their beauty, and be prepared to get some major knowledge on how to cook at altitude -- in adverse weather!

Hey gang, there are still a few spots left! Come get yours while you still can.

Guys, I’m planning a big, all-inclusive event through AdventureAide and if you’ve never explored the eastern Sierra Nevada before, this is a good intro for you.

Not super intense, involves cooking classes, beer tasting, some hiking, pretty much the most incredible photography experiences in California, and a little mindfulness every day.

Take a look!

******************

Join me for a camping adventure to experience nature’s wonders of the eastern Sierra Nevada. We’ll start with a meetup in the Alabama Hills to stretch our legs and adjust to the altitude change a little bit before we go camp at Big Pine Lakes for 3 nights! Expect cooking classes, beer tasting in nearby Bishop, fall foliage leaf-peeping, some local Paiute legends, and embracing life at 8,000 feet! The coup de grace? Hiking to the Big Pine Lakes!

Day 1
• Meet up at the Alabama Hills and do some exploring
• Head into Big Pine and get to our campgrounds, familiarize ourselves with our surroundings and start getting to know each other
• Have an awesome cooking class and campfire dinner

Day 2
• Do a morning warm-up and gratitude exercise
• Have some bomb locally roasted mountain coffee
• Light breakfast
• A little session on how to adjust to altitude and the effects of high-altitude on food prep and cooking
• Do some local leaf-peeping in Round Valley or Aspendell, and maybe catch the elk migration
• Head into Bishop and hit a brewery (first flight included!) and then go to the famous Schatt’s Bakkerÿ
• Campfire cooking class (tri-tip and roasted veggies)
• Games and nicknames, maybe singing songs

Day 3
• Wake up and warmup and meditation
• Some more of that incredible mountain coffee and a few local Paiute stories
• Breakfast cooking class
• Prep lunch and pack for day hike
• Hike into the Big Pine Lakes, and brave the cold water for a polar plunge (weather depending)
• Warm ourselves by the fire and have dinner, play games, and be musical

Day 4
• Wake up and be grateful!
• Warmup with coffee
• You don’t have to go home, but you do have to leave. I’ll give you some great ideas of activities to do so you can stretch out your trip a little longer and explore our great state.

Packing list:
• Tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad or cot
• Layers, people! Layers!
• Sturdy probably waterproof hiking boots
• A hat of some kind for the sun, and for cold weather
• sunglasses, gloves
• field or pocket knife, or multi-tool.
• any musical instrument of your choice (within reason, no glockenspiels please)
• a sense of humor and adventure
• any extra snacks

PS — it’s real. Just booked the campgrounds on Friday. Start planning your time off. This is happening.
