S5 E1: The Palio di Siena is the most famous horse race in the world. It’s certainly the oldest*! It’s a centuries-old festival that combines neighbourhood rivalries, pageants and of course, food! David is invited to the Contrada del Bruco — one of the competing districts — where some 1,500 supporters get together for a pre-race dinner. Naturally, David rolls up his sleeves and gets to work in the kitchen.
