Rob Larman and his wife are serving up old school barbeque in the heart of California wine country at Cochon Volant. Chef Larman puts his unique spin on fried chicken by soaking it in a sweet-and-spicy brine laced with granny smith apples and pasilla chile paste. “This is a chef’s fried chicken,” said guy between bites. Their other claim to fame is the towering WTF Burger. A seared beef patty is topped with 14-hour smoked brisket, smoked pork shoulder, house-cured maple bacon, a fried chipotle pork cake, melted cheddar cheese and house-made barbeque sauce.
Guy Fieri is digging into all kinds of carnivore creations on this trip. In Little Rock, Ark., an old gas station-turned-eatery pumpin' bison into a burrito and pilin' pork onto cornmeal waffles. In Santa Rosa, Calif., a Vietnamese joint making phenomenal pho and righteous barbecue pork. And finally, nearby in Sonoma, Calif., a barbecue spot loading up a monster burger and frying off-the-chain chicken.
