For many hunters and gatherers, the adage, "If it is worth killing, it is worth eating" is a life-long value, and a saying that some might shudder when considering dining on some of the "less-desirable" parts. But not Scott Leysath, host of the popular television series, Dead Meat.

The series visits the swamps of Alabama for hunting rabbits with a pack of beagles, dives into the deep waters of Florida for lionfish and even heads to suburban California for rattlesnake.
