S01 E06 - Sunday Roasts are Overrated

For what we are about to receive...

This week, food writer Simon Carlo has a (semi)serious chat with Roberto Ortiz of sensational Peruvian restaurant Chakana in Moseley. They discuss tigers milk, chillies and an unexpected visit from a restaurant critic.

Then on to the Indian Streatery to find out about a recent royal visit from one of the owners Dhiraj. Who's the chilli-head in the 'Wales' household? THE ANSWER MAY SUPRISE YOU.

Finally, another trip to the Custard Factory to challenge the great Tommy Matthews of Passing Fancies to make a killer cocktail from a random bag of bottles we present him with. Will he come up with the goods? You wouldn't bet against it.

You may begin.
