In the ultimate graduation gift, culinary king Guy Fieri is taking his son Hunter on an epic European holiday. Along the way, the duo will see the sights while sampling the best local fare on offer.
They begin their journey in Greece, where they learn the secret to the perfect gyro in Athens and get a taste for family-style cooking on Crete. Then, they hop a plane to Italy, where Rome sees them getting a buzz from the perfect cappuccino, trying unique seafood and visiting a gelateria.
And of course their trip to Italy wouldn't be complete without a Fieri family reunion in lovely Sesto Calende. Join Guy and Hunter as they take on Europe - where will they turn up next?
The trip kicks off in Greece, where Guy and Hunter learn the secrets behind making the perfect gyro in Athens, and then they get a lesson on how to fire things up old - school style at a local barbecue rotisserie restaurant.
Next, they head over to Crete where they get a taste of how the locals enjoy all the fruits of the land and the Mediterranean Sea.
First, they head out on the open waters to learn how to fish for lobster. Then, in the countryside they visit a generations-old farm to learn how to get the freshest dairy, beginning with the first step - milking a sheep.
Before they continue on their trek, they sit down for a traditional family-style Greek dinner filled with delicious regional dishes.
The fun doesn't stop there. While traveling and connecting with the cultural traditions through the local delectable delights, the duo makes a pit stop to reunite with relatives in Sesto Calende, Italy to uncover where the Fieri family originates.
They also get a blast from the past in Chantilly, France where they visit the house that Guy lived in as a teenage exchange student.
Along the way, Hunter and Guy make the perfect cup of cappuccino in Rome, commandeer a gondola in Venice, and witness the making of true Parmigiano - Reggiano in Parma. They also enjoy authentic Swiss fondue, twist pretzels in Germany, and learn the surprising and intricate traditions behind true French croissants and English fish 'n chips.
The trip winds down in Spain, where Guy's wife, Lori, and younger son, Ryder, meet them to share a special Spanish paella dinner.
