As expected, Zach and Mary have a “game plan,” (pun intended) for their innovative lunch recipe. Using a pit boss and pellet grill, the hunting duo cook up a unique creation involving seared bison and “armadillo eggs,” that will hopefully have the judges at The Great American Cookoff going wild. 

Zach and Mary head to the judges table to present their Wild Bison Tacos and Jalapeño Poppers.
