Pro Staff
Wade Truong is a lifelong Virginian, self-taught chef and hunter. His passion for cooking and sharing food is the foundation of his obsession with the outdoors and the resources they provide. He spends all of his free time hunting, fishing, foraging and exploring the bounty of the land and water. He believes that the more we participate with our environment, the more we understand that we need to protect it.
‘Every meal should be enjoyed and celebrated, meaningful, and mindful. A reminder of who we are, where we came from, and where we go from here. I am thankful for every meal, every dish I’m lucky enough to prepare and share. I am grateful for the opportunity to do what feels so right to me, to be myself, to find purpose in food, for the wild places, big and small, for the land of opportunity and the freedom to be who I am.’
He is the co-founder of elevatedwild.com. His work has been featured in various conservation publications as well as the New York Times and Garden & Gun.
