About this episode
The Banter The Guys discuss wine dinners and tasting menus and how it’s fun to cede control of your dinner and be swept away. The Conversation The Restaurant Guys are thrilled to hear from Peter Byck, documentary filmmaker and advocate for climate solutions in cattle farming. Peter explains how we created the problem and how (relatively) easy it can be to repair it. Fascinating stuff! The Inside Track The Guys have promoted sustainable farming practices for decades, believing that solutions can be found that benefit both nature and the people involved. When they came across Peter’s work they had to have him on the show! “We were doing research to find out if a method of grazing animals could be beneficial for the farmer, beneficial for the land, and beneficial for the climate. Those were our questions and, and we're finding that yes, it can be, and that's our focus,” Peter Byck on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2025 Bio Peter Byck is a professor at Arizona State University where he teaches students to make short documentary films about sustainability solutions. He is the director, producer and writer of carbon nation , a documentary film about climate change solutions. In 2020, he completed carbon cowboys , a 10-part documentary short film series, focused on regenerative grazing. Peter is currently helping to lead a $10 million research project comparing Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing with conventional grazing; collaborating with 20 scientists and 10 farm families, focused on soil health & soil carbon storage, microbial/bug/bird biodiversity, and much more. The research also includes a new, 4-part docuseries called “Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there),” directed by Peter, which is all about the inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change.
