Ep 5. Maremma

The Maremma is only an hour away from Rome and that's why Carlo decided to take Sabrina Ferilli there with an off-road vehicle. As a true gentleman, he'll allow his traveling companion not to travel too many kilometers to return home in case she gets tired of him. However, she'll soon forget the romantic gesture because of the wild charm of Stefano, the cowboy. Carlo, to win back her attention, will focus on the taste of Maremma meat and will teach her his secrets in the kitchen. Sabrina will learn how to prepare a tartare. Resuming their journey, they'll reach the junk dealer Fernando in Manciano, who'll welcome them with a thousand typical dishes that will leave them speechless. But they'll have to find the words again because, invited to a local tavern where extemporary poets will perform, the two will give vent to their creativity in rhyme. Thanks to a hot soup and the conviviality of the place, Sabrina will devise a plan to impress the Dinner Club at dinner. There is only one obstacle, however, between her and "victory", Carlo. After a breakfast of sausages and beans, the two will prepare their horses for a romantic ride, but there will be a third wheel, the memory of Stefano. Once back on the road and having reached the two Michelin-starred chef Valeria Piccini, the traveling companions will roll up their sleeves and, between one bickering and another, will measure themselves against one of her most famous dishes, Cinta Senese ravioli. In the village of Pitigliano, their penultimate stop, Carlo and Sabrina, among Jewish cuisine, typical sweets and legends of black cats, will test their relationship and especially their alliance in view of the final dinner. It will be a bet, in the waters of the thermal baths of Saturnia, to sanction the end of their journey. Once at the dinner, Sabrina will not hide her competitive side. But will the other members of the Dinner Club, among tales of firsts and culinary intuitions, discover the plan she has devised?
