'Wild Within' host eats what he kills in new Travel Channel show

Forget the supermarket, or even the farmer’s market—Steven Rinella is getting his food straight from the source, the great outdoors.

Rinella, a lifelong outdoorsman, is host of the new Travel Channel series “The Wild Within,” which follows him into the wild where he hunts and gathers his own food. This morning on American Morning, Rinella tells AM's Kiran Chetry and Jim Acosta about his lifelong passion for fishing and hunting, and how the show is inspired by a recent cultural trend: knowing where the food on our kitchen tables comes from.

“The Wild Within” premieres on Sunday, January 9 on the Travel Channel. Each episode ends with grand feast, but first viewers get to travel with Rinella to various destinations across the globe, such as Scotland, Alaska and Guyana.
