Max and Matt continue their tour through Wilkes County, NC. Here's what they discovered:

• Apple Brandy Beef is a 100+ year old cattle farm that dry ages the entire carcass.
• What are best practices for marbling beef and why that's important.
• Did you know that Wilkes is the largest corn producing county in the state? BTW, the cows love it!
• Amalfi's of Wilkesboro- taught us how to balance what a chef wants to cook (fresh seafood/Napoli cuisine) vs what the guests want/ expect (central Italian cuisine)
• The best way to cook Octopus
• Why an Italian immigrant who happens to be a talented chef, ended up in Wilkes County.
