Exploring New Zealand's Wild Flavors | DIRT New Zealand

They say you come to New Zealand as a stranger, but leave as family. In this episode of DIRT, the crew goes full circle—meeting Muttonbird chefs Emma and George on the South Island before hopping up to Raglan and working their way back down. Water-skiing next to snow-capped mountains, cooking in hot springs the Māori way, and stargazing at Wairarapa Dark Sky Reserve are all on the itinerary. But it's the final “Feed” done Kiwi-style that makes one thing clear—in this unique and stunning land, nobody's a stranger for long.

Steven Rinella returns to his favorite hunting grounds of Sonora, Mexico to hunt for a Coues deer buck during the peak rutting season. Steve sets up camp and spends days glassing mountains and canyons for these elusive, wary desert whitetails. Meanwhile, his hunting partner, Remi Warren, attempts the difficult task of stalking one with a bow. To cap off the hunt, Steve cooks a batch of venison ribs braised in a Dutch oven buried beneath hot coals.

On this trip, Steve travels to the Sacramento Valley in central California in search of a new challenge and seriously good food. 300 years ago Spanish settlers let a handful of pigs loose in order to turn acorns into bacon, and today Steve is hunting the feral descendants of those pigs. If he's successful in finding a wild boar, Steve will prepare a backcountry gourmet feast of pork loin roasted with apples and rosemary cooked in tin foil over a fire.
