Sacramento

Chef Jordan Andino heads to California's breadbasket, Sacramento. His first stop is Hook and Ladder Manufacturing Company, a converted warehouse that serves up spectacular Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, tapas-style. Chef Matt Masera shows Jordan the secret to his Salumi Pizza -- fresh dough and locally made cured pork -- and Jordan sinks his teeth into an old Italian favorite, lemon arancini. For his second stop, Jordan hits up Sauced BBQ and Spirits for the Dougie, an oversized burger piled high with BBQ brisket, onion rings and one of their signature sauces. He also grabs a bumpkin, an egg roll stuffed full of brisket, cheese and Southwest flavor. Jordan's last stop is Chando's Cantina, where the Mexican street foods don't disappoint. He tries Chando's signature dish, Asada Pambazo, a mole-dipped meat sandwich bursting with flavor, and discovers a trio of Mexican dipping sauces that make the restaurant's chicken wings take flight.
