He grew up aroundStephenville, but spent enough time in Louisiana tolearn how to cook gumbo (which is actually why wehired him). Scott is an avid duck hunter and guides Duck Huntson the ranch...which ties to his favoritecharacteristic about the ranch: the abundance ofduck ponds scattered throughout WB Ranch and thelong stretch of the Brazos River that makesup mostof our south border. Duck season is just about to be in full-swing; ifyou're looking for somewhere to go, give Scott acall-just make sure to ask for his gumborecipe too. If you've never been duckhunting, take heed;Scott ( or any other duck hunter, for that matter)will tell you "It's an addiction, and it only takesone time." |  | Chef News | | | | | Hand-Cut Steaks Do you consider yourself a Steak Connoisseur?
