FUTURE EPISODES

'ON THE GOLDEN GATE ROAD'

Biker Chef travels to San Fran to select the finest fresh littlenecks, prawns, squid tentacles and sea bass filets from Swans Oyster Bar on Polk Street. Crosses the Golden Gate and heads for the Napa Valley, stopping at an open air produce stand to pick up some homegrown fennel stalks. Visits the Niebaum-Coppola Winery for a bottle of 1992 Chardonnay. Restocks on extra virgin olive oil at the Napa Valley Olive Oil Manufacturing Company. He hooks up with the Particelli Family where Mama Particelli shows off her special brand of fresh linguine pasta and Papa Particelli brings out his 150 proof homemade grappa. While the water boils for the fresh linguine, Biker Chef whips up a unique white sauce with garlic and fennel stalk in a grappa and Chardonnay olive oil base, seasoned with sea salt and red pepper flakes, then adds the seafood in the proper timing order. He drops the fresh linguine in the boiling water for a few minutes then strains it and adds it to his seafood white sauce to finish cooking, becoming al dente as it absorbs the bouquet of flavors. It is all poured gently into a large pasta bowl, garnished with sprigs of Italian parsley and voila! Biker Chef presents his Bay Area Bouillabaisse Linguine.

'GRASS BLUE, FRY FISH'

Biker Chef pays a visit to a legendary Mississippi grappler fishing crew that catches large channel catfish with their bare hands. He joins in, grapples his fish and has Sous properly fillet it. He visits a local microbrewery, picks up a bottle of dark lager. He visits an inmate at a maximum-security prison who shares the recipe of his spicy tri-pepper seasoning. He visits a housewife known by her neighbors to make the best southern fried chicken batter. In her trailer park backyard, Biker Chef heats up a gallon of peanut oil in a propane deep fryer. He takes the housewife's chicken batter and mixes in the dark lager with the tri-pepper seasoning. Neighbors arrive with folk instruments. As they strum up some good old-fashioned bluegrass, Biker Chef dips the catfish fillets in the spicy southern beer batter and lowers them into the hot peanut oil. After a few minutes of intense sizzling, the golden brown battered fillets are removed. Various hot sauce condiments from Tabasco to 'Smack My Ass And Call Me Sally' are pulled from the bottomless mobile Crate. Biker Chef's Grappler Spicy Deep Fried Catfish is ready to be enjoyed.

'EAST MEETS WEST AT YANKEE STADIUM'

Biker Chef and team hit Manhattan and head for little India. Hooks up with a master Indian chef who shares his recipe for a delectable mango chutney. Biker Chef rolls over to Chinatown. Hooks up with a Hong Kong trained dim sum chef who shows us the proper way to make steamed bao bun dough. Biker Chef heads to the Bronx and Yankee Stadium. Hooks up with an old school hot dog man. Nathan's Famous vs. Sabret, steamed vs. grilled. Biker Chef opts for the steamed Sabret. Inside the empty post-season stadium behind a concession stand Biker Chef prepares the bao bun dough and the mango chutney. He generously globs the mango chutney on the Sabret dog then completely wraps it up with bao dough. He steams it in a bamboo steamer with pieces of fresh mint and banana leaf. Biker Chef's Manhattan Chutney Bao Dog can only be described as a casual yet perfect blend of Eastern and Western taste.
