Kent and Shannon Rollins Bring Chuck Wagon Cooking and Cowboy Culture to Life
DENVER (September 10, 2025) – Saddle up and get ready to experience the heart and soul of cowboy culture with Cast Iron Cowboy, a new series debuting on Outdoor Channel on September 29 at 9:30 pm ET, kicking off the network’s “Premiere Week,” with dozens of new series and episodes. Hosted by cowboy cook Kent Rollins and his wife Shannon with their 1876 Studebaker chuck wagon in tow, the series takes viewers on a journey to some of the most authentic cowboy ranches across America.
For over 30 years, Kent Rollins has dedicated his life to preserving the heritage of the American cowboy. “This is a really unique series that has been about seven years in the making,” stated Rollins. “It’s been a dream for us to be able to showcase the hard-working ranchers across America and to share their stories, their heritage, and a lifestyle that is still thriving… you just don’t see it from the interstate.”
Together, Kent and his wife Shannon travel the country to feed hungry cowboys hearty, no-frills meals that reflect the unique regional flavors of each ranch they visit. The gold standard of chuck wagon cooks, their philosophy is simple: “You can’t get full on fancy” – though Kent’s audience of nearly 7 million followers across social media don’t seem to mind. From sizzling steaks to Dutch oven ribs, every dish is a tribute to the hardworking men and women who keep the cowboy tradition alive.
