Ep 11. Hidden Treasures

In the exciting episode of Man's Greatest Food season 3 named Hidden Treasures, host Roger Mooking and his team explore some of the lesser-known but hidden gems across different cities in North America, discovering some truly unforgettable culinary delights.

The episode takes us on a culinary adventure as Roger and his team visit three different cities - St. Louis, Kansas City, and Indianapolis - seeking out the hidden treasures that each has to offer. From classic soul food to creative twists on traditional dishes, Hidden Treasures showcases the best of a variety of different cuisines, all with a unique and unforgettable twist.

The first stop is St. Louis, where Roger samples the legendary fried fish at a local restaurant that has been serving the community for over 50 years. The fish is crispy and flavorful, perfectly balanced with a slightly spicy kick. Next, it's onto a local restaurant that takes the classic combo of fried chicken and waffles and elevates it to something truly special - crispy, savory chicken is piled high on top of a fluffy waffle, all topped with syrup and a dollop of whipped butter. It's a dish that might sound strange, but as Roger discovers, it's absolutely delicious.

In Kansas City, Roger sets out to try some truly unique barbecue, and he isn't disappointed. At one stop, he tries a dish that is so flavorful, it almost defies description - a delicate and smoky beef brisket that is crusted with a spice blend unlike anything he's ever tasted. At another spot, he discovers a local favorite - a burnt ends dish that is cooked to perfection, with tender cubes of meat that are still flavorful and juicy.

Finally, in Indianapolis, Roger gets a taste of something truly special - a slow-braised lamb dish that is cooked until it falls apart at the touch of a fork. The dish is packed with rich flavors, and Roger says it's one of the best things he's ever tasted. He also tries some creatively spiced "pork-chetta" at a local restaurant, which is cooked in a wood-fired oven and served on a bed of fresh greens.

Throughout the episode, Roger and his team meet a variety of fascinating and passionate chefs and food enthusiasts who are dedicated to preserving and showcasing unique and delicious flavors that are often overlooked or forgotten. They explore the history and culture behind each dish, and learn about the techniques and ingredients that make them special.

With its emphasis on discovering hidden gems and celebrating underappreciated dishes, Man's Greatest Food season 3 episode 11, Hidden Treasures, is a must-watch for any food lover looking for their next culinary adventure.
