additives. In fact, the “slowfood” movement is among
the fastest growing segment of the food industry and wild game is the purest form
of this “slow food”. The Game Gourmet has definitely tapped into an
impressive market considering that, according to the 2006 National Survey by the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, 87.5 million people spent $122.3 billion on fishing,
hunting and related outdoor activities.1 Those are your viewers and their
families. Along with connecting directly with those viewers, The Game Gourmet television
news franchise appeals to all audiences, regardless of the level of interest in
outdoor activities because every recipe, technique and cooking tip translates to
pork, chicken, steak, beef, seafood, etc. Chef John will give viewers confidence
and peace of mind that what they're serving for dinner tonight is “good eatin”.

John Schumacher attended the famed Culinary Institute of America
in Hyde Park, NY and, upon graduating with high honors, he was hired as the executive
chef of the Key Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. Several years later, with an
extraordinary range of culinary experience behind him, John returned to his roots
in Minnesota to fulfill his dream of opening and operating a country inn. He purchased
the deteriorated Broz Hotel in New Prague, a once fashionable landmark built by
famed architect Cass Gilbert in 1898. Schumacher transformed the historic building
into one of the nation's most successful European inns. From the start, he was showered
with awards and critical acclaim for both his exceptional accomplishments in the
restaurant and the dramatic transformation of the hotel. Schumacher has also achieved
significant personal victories through his publications. With the help of his wife
and business partner Kathleen Schumacher, he defied the limitations of his dyslexia
by writing

and publishing a cookbook entitled, John Schumacher's New Prague Hotel Cookbook.
The book has become a symbol of hope and inspiration for thousands of individuals
with reading disabilities across the country. That release along with John's subsequent
cookbooks, Wild Game Cooking Made Easy, and, Fish Cooking Made Easy, have sold more
than 300,000 copies. After enjoying three decades of running a thriving business,
John closed the restaurant and hotel to concentrate on additional interests, including
the creation of The Game Gourmet brand. In conjunction with developing his television
news franchise, John also created an exclusive Game Gourmet cooking system that
is sold at sporting goods stores across the country. Whether John's followers see
him in person, watch him on camera, or read his books, one thing remains constant,
they all have come to love his charming, witty and personal style that combines
great cooking with down-to-earth advice.
