In “He Hunts She Cooks” Dan and Bobbie Jo Wasilko are a traditional husband-and-wife couple where Dan huntsfor wild game and Bobbie Jo cooks what he brings home. But unlike the stereotypical hand-off at the pot on the stove, Bobbie Jo will often go into the field with Dan and he will often help Bobbie Jo in the kitchen.

Their pilot show “He Hunts She Cooks” can be viewed here.
