Director, producer, writer and filmmaker Jay Duplass is from New Orleans, therefore he sprinkles Tony Chachere’s seasoning on everything, from lasagna to his "white guy huevos rancheros."
Jay tells me:
- What foods he gave out to hungry hikers when he was a trail angel on the Pacific Crest Trail
- The best condiment packets to steal from gas stations
- The worst healthy, hippie food his parents served him growing up
- What he ate when he was a struggling filmmaker in Austin, Texas
And I chat with Barry and Sandy Mann, who are perhaps the most famous PCT trail angels -- they've welcomed more than 8,000 thru-hikers into their home!
