Dinner Club (2021)
Michelin-starred chef Carlo Cracco undertakes six trips across Italy to rediscover its most authentic cuisine with famous actors for each destination.
Seasons & Episode
In a Panda 4X4, Carlo Cracco takes Paola Cortellesi to discover one of the most magical and least-visited places in Calabria: the Sila plateau. Between aphrodisiac foods, rare dishes and ancient brotherhoods, Paola overcomes all of her culinary prejudices. Only one ingredient remains indigestible to her: Cracco's humor.
Antonio Albanese finds himself traveling in such a fascinating vehicle that he nicknames it "the soppressata." It is a typical truck that takes him and Carlo through the marvelous landscapes of South Tyrol. Together, they discover ancient recipes, take mountain pine baths and, among sheep with glasses and thunderous whips, end up collecting wild herbs in the company of a witch.
Carlo Cracco takes Luca Zingaretti to the land of entertainment: Romagna. Like two youngsters on leave, they experience everything, from an impromptu game of soccer, to a night in a monastery, to ballroom dancing on the beach. Between pasta, dances and taboo ingredients, the odd couple end up agreeing on the great Fellini's quote: "Life is a combination of magic and pasta."
From the southernmost point of Sicily to the peak of Etna to find a secret ingredient: this is the trip that Carlo embarks on with Marco Giallini, by far the most "rock-'n'-roll" travel companion. A real on-the-road journey with an exuberant traveling buddy under the scorching sun of Eastern Sicily, with the aim of discovering its most succulent treasures.
Dinner Club continues with two special episodes in which what happens after dinner is revealed, with laughter, new travel memories and new culinary experiments. In this first After Dinner, there will be room for spicy challenges involving chili peppers, hilarious situations at the table and on the go, and a toast to the notes of Battiato, with an increasingly in-tune Carlo Cracco...
The After Dinner continues between dance steps, the preparation of eggnog to conclude the meal and memories of the travelers' endeavours. And after the stories comes the long-awaited moment: Sabrina's reviews. What has the reigning Dinner Club champion write?
