Paul Sanford has dedicated his life to the culinary arts, merging his deep-rooted passion for wild game with classical training. After honing his skills at esteemed culinary institutions, he cultivated a profound understanding of flavor development, technique, and presentation. Following his formal education, Paul found his calling in the family business, Gibson’s Barbecue, where he melded traditional cooking with innovation.

Inspired by memories of his great-grandfather, Big Bob Gibson, who cooked over open flames, Paul sought to honor the richness of wild game. His transition into the seasoning industry stemmed from a desire to share the nuances of preparing wild game with others. He recognized that the key to exceptional flavors lay not in complicated recipes, but in understanding the ingredients and respecting the natural qualities of the meat.

This philosophy served as the foundation for his cookbook, “Wild Feast: A Culinary Adventure in Game Cuisine.” Through this work, Paul aims to empower home cooks to embrace the wild, celebrating the essence of nature’s bounty and elevating the preparation of game to an art form.
