It was an honor to have James Beard Foundation Award winner Chef Art Smith feature our Wild Boar on the menu at their recent Cheers, Queers 2019! event in New York. Chef Art is a Florida native and well known celebrity chef who has created some wonderful recipes using our Wild Boar like the Shogun Farms Wild Boar Ragu with Homemade Pasta he served at the James Beard House.
Our Wild Boar was served along side of many other talented and creative chef’s dishes at the JBF event supporting Pride Month in NY. This has been an exciting experience for us to see our wild boar on the table at the James Beard House, and even equally exciting that Chef Art enjoys creating recipes with it to share with the best of the best!
