Among medieval towns, dense forests, and winding cobblestone streets, a trip to Umbria in the heart of Italy finds Curtis chasing canine companions for his favorite ingredient, getting a tutorial from a master of porchetta, and on a lost-in-translation hunt for pheasant.

Cheese, wine, and steak lovers unite as Curtis and key players from Maude travel to the misty mountains of Spain with excursions including goat milking, mushroom foraging with a Michelin-starred chef, and uncorking a sixty-year-old bottle of wine housed in a winery designed by an architectural icon.
