Want to up your grill game? Start with better proteins. I’ve created this list of some of my favorites– from Waygu beef and Kurobuta pork to sustainable striped bass and wild game. I’ve included some links to recipes in the post as well. You can follow them to the letter, or use them as inspiration. There are some affiliate links here, but all opinions are mine.
I buy this every other week, true story. I think it’s an amazing value in beef. They also offer great ground beef, filets, brisket and more.

“Kurobuta” is the Japanese name for pure-bred Berkshire pigs, with a feeding regiment designed for maximum marbling and a pH that retains juiciness (similar in concept to what they do with Wagyu cattle). From loins and chops to bacon and short ribs, there are many great options to choose from.

Not all hot dogs are created equal. Recognized as America’s premiere gourmet hot dog, these Wagyu hot dogs are crafted from 100% American Wagyu beef combined with a signature blend of spices, then slowly smoked with hardwood. They’re snappy– a must for any good dog.
Want to add more fish into your diet? Try this striped bass. Raised in Baja California, Pacifico has a clean mouth feel and a semi-firm texture. It’s a versatile fish, ideal to cook with because the fat content allows for many preparation methods, including whole, raw, grilling, poaching and braising. Cooked it has a flaky texture with a skin that crisps beautifully.
I filmed season 2 of Wild Game Kitchen at Broken Arrow Ranch. They sell so much incredible product– from sausages (like the venison jalapenos variety above) to wild boar, Texas quail and more.
Nicky USA is the premier wholesale butcher & purveyor of high quality meats & specialty game in the Northwest.Geoff Latham founded the business in 1990 by selling rabbits from the back of his Ford Escort hatchback. Today, they sell bison, elk (pictured), beef, pork, poultry and yes, they still sell rabbit.
I’ve been a big D’Artagnan fan for years. They’re my go-to for all-things duck, foie gras, and all sorts of other game meat, charcuterie and more.
