It's actually a traditional Laotian dish that has become popular in Thailand and Cambodia. Based on one of the comments on here, I guess it's also spread to Vietnam.

The DVD had a few extras, including "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe." Herzog had made a bet with Errol Morris and lost -- and his penalty was to eat his shoe. For some reason, the shoe eating takes place in Berkeley (at the now-gone UC Theater). The shoe cooking, however, is done in the kitchen of Chez Panisse, and Alice Waters stops by for a few seconds to help out. It's a fun short film. (Fitzcarraldo, on the other hand, I did not much care for.)

Larb is very typical of the cuisine of highland tribes throughout mainland Southeast Asia, and you'll find variations of these chopped salads in Cambodian, Lao, Vietnamese and Thai restaurants. Eaten with rice, cucumber slices, young watercress and lots of fresh mint on the side -- the prefect lunch in hot, humid weather...or even foggy days.... This one of my favorite dishes!

He missed Ted's - one of the best places for hot dogs in town. It's been around since 1927. http://www.flickr.com/photos/queenkv/3843510846/ Love Bourdain, but I think he did a shoddy job with Buffalo on his Rust Belt episode.
