Man, Fire, Food Season 3 Episode 9 West Coast Roasts 2014

Roger visits the West Coast for two unique wood-fired roasts. Roger heads to Sloughhouse to visit Passmore Ranch, a freshwater, sustainable fish farm. Sprawling across 86 acres, Passmore Ranch has a variety of open lakes and massive tanks, and raises black bass, striped bass, catfish, silver carp, trout and white sturgeon. Roger is challenged to catch a 6ft white sturgeon-by hand! The catch of the day is then stuffed with aromatics and roasted over a large bed of coals. Roger is on the hunt for Santa Maria-style barbecue and heads to the Santa Maria Elks Lodge where they've been doing it since 1926. In the legendary BBQ Room, Roger helps build a fire in the massive pit and seasons and skewers big hunks of beef. It's a delicious feast that members of the Lodge are sure to enjoy.
