I’m from Bakersfield Ca. When I was younger there were sheep herders everywhere. All of them Basque. They established some great Basque restaurants that are still in business, still packed, and some of the best food you can have. Woolgrower’s has recipes on their website.
Also good are Santa Fe Basque in Fresno & another “Woolgrowers” Basque in Los Banos.
