Gigantic Wild Mushrooms

On Sunday, I was out an Nichol's Farm shooting a bit for a TV show I'm doing (Farm2Kitchen) and someone had found this crazy-ass, wild mushroom.  The thing was huge and just plopped itself right on the hood of this big rig.  The chef that was there cooking (Todd Stein from mk) decided to grab one of the monsters, slice it up and cook it in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper.  It was so delicious and meaty, I couldn't believe that it had just been plucked from the woods that morning.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that food is totally simple, completely unexpected and there for the taking if you just know where to look; it's really all around you. Think:  There was life before supermarkets, yeah?
