Ep. 294: Wild Turkeys, Island Feasts & Vineyard Stories with Chef Johnny Graham and Brett Stearns

In this flavorful episode, we’re joined by two Martha’s Vineyard legends—Johnny Graham, celebrity chef and owner of Revel Catering & Events, and Brett Stearns, Director of the Natural Resources Department for the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah). Together, they take us on a journey through the island’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and world-class food and fishing traditions.

We dive into Brandon Butler’s ambitious “50 in 50 by 50” challenge—harvesting an animal in all 50 states before his 50th birthday—and hear the story behind his recent wild turkey hunt on the Vineyard with Johnny and Brett.

From ocean-to-table cuisine and sustainable farming to tribal stewardship of the land and sea, this conversation is packed with passion, tradition, and a deep love for community and nature. And of course, don’t miss the always-unpredictable Mystery Bait Bucket segment!

Whether you're a foodie, a hunter, or just someone who appreciates the beauty of a tight-knit island community, this episode has something for you.
