Mother and son duo Lyndey and Blair Milan embark on an epicurean road trip around the Peloponnese, the southern peninsula of Greece, with servings of tantalizing food, a nod to history and myth and a big slice of adventure. The Peloponnese trip begins in Athens but before they head south Lyndey and Blair visit a meat market, taste tripe soup and explore the Acropolis. Later that night Lyndey cooks modern Greek at Kuzina Restaurant and Blair enjoys a night out on the town. The next day Lyndey, Blair and the crew depart Athens. Their first stop is the Corinth Canal, where Blair terrifies his mother with a bungy jump.
