Gino tours Bari, the capital of Puglia, by rickshaw, learning about the dialect and sampling some of the unusual street food and vegetables of this region. Stopping off in a rustic square in the old town, Gino meets a great-grandmother who teaches him an ancient way of making a semolina orecchiette (little ear shaped pasta) pasta without eggs, before sampling a street dish made with one of the first cereals cooked by humans, polenta. For his grand finale we find Gino on a rooftop where he prepares a dish unique to Bari, spaghetti all'assassina - a spicy spaghetti dish but cooked like a risotto - and it's a killer!
