I am a Fiddlehead Forager

Season 8 Episode 2

The 49th State has an abundance of edible wild plants, but some people might think of Alaska's wild berries or mushrooms before they'd consider eating fiddlehead ferns. Jason Porter, the Executive Chef of Alyeska Resort and Hotel, takes advantage of his spring harvest of fiddleheads and uses them in dishes for himself, his family and for the resort's restaurants in Girdwood, Alaska.
