Big Sky PBR, recently crowned 12-time event of the year, will ride again this July 16-18. And I hope you’re hungry, because the lineup of chefs is a murderers row: James Beard Award winner Eduardo Garcia, Top Chef alum Emily Hahn, plus some of the most acclaimed chefs in the Mountain West and beyond: Sheldon Simeon (Top Chef, touring his second cookbook), Jamie Lynch (Top Chef), Josh Adams of Livingston’s Campione (James Beard nominee), and Jarrett Wrisley of Shan (James Beard nominee). Plus local skybox chefs Joel Gill of Brasa and Keenan Anderson of Joe, with sweets from Daisy Donuts and Stash Cookies.

All in Big Sky, Montana for just three unexpectedly delicious three days. On this episode, we sit down with Eduardo (founder of Montana Mex and host of Magnolia Network's Big Sky Kitchen) and Emily (chef-owner of Bozeman's Mountain Provisions) to talk about what they're cooking up – like whole bison sourced from North Bridger Bison, whole hog, whole lamb, fresh Alaskan seafood, and locally grown produce.

We also get into:

• Eduardo's full origin story — the electrocution, 21 surgeries, cancer diagnosis, and the hook he chose over a bionic hand
• Emily's four years as a commercial shrimper and how she earned her 100-ton captain's license before landing in Bozeman
• Why neither of them could care less about a Michelin star — and why that's exactly the point
• The Low Cuisine game: Eduardo's tia's rural kitchen and Emily's formative years at a sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll Italian restaurant in Richmond, Virginia.

This is a conversation about what food is actually for — community, land, ranchers, farmers, and the people eating it — told by two chefs who've both taken the long, hard, scenic route to get here.
