Omnivore’s 100: Venison down, 99 more to go

We’re Out of Here turns one this week! It’s been a busy year. We traveled up and down the East Coast from Maine to North Carolina. We’ve eaten jelly fish, ramps, duck fat fries and lobster fresh from the boat. And we’ve had a beer (or two) in every stop along the way. Here’s a recap of the best and worst of our first year.
