First, Roland Trettl goes to Bad Oeynhausen where he is supposed to cook something typically Westphalian after he has learned the traditional art of baking bread. Then he has to cook “Stippgrütze with Westphalian rye bread,” an original recipe from Dirk Timmerberg. For the second challenge he goes to Charleston in the USA, where he has to prepare "Shrimp & Grits, Fried Green Tomatoes and Red Slaw", an original recipe by Robert Stehling from the Hominy Grill, with shrimp he caught himself. Christian Lohse is sent to wonderful Venice by his opponent Roland Trettl. He has to prepare "Ragù di Baccalà" and recognize the specialty and peculiarity of this Italian classic from original chef Franco Favaretto from "Baccalà Divino". The second task is also Italian and brings with it a touch of home flair: Christian is supposed to prepare "Gnocchi di melanzane al pomodoro" in a grand hotel in Taormina.
