The guides of the show go to Heimaey and Gunnar Karl makes sure that Sverrir Þór doesn’t end up in only his underwear on stage in Herjólfsdalur. A lot happens on the way, but when they arrive, Gísli Matt and his family welcome them as only they can. On the green island there is fun people, good food, and gentle tunes. This is how to hold a feast.

Gunnar Karl and Dóri DNA travel through Svarfaðardalur in North Iceland, visiting farms and exploring how local traditions and resources shape the food culture of the valley.

The hosts visit Borgarfjörður eystri, where they meet locals, learn about food traditions, and highlight the region’s connection to nature and sustainability.

On the small island of Traustholtshólmi, the duo explore sustainable living and prepare a feast using resources provided by the land and sea.

In Flateyri, the pair discover how remoteness and community spirit influence food culture in the Westfjords, culminating in a shared meal with locals.

The journey ends at Skálanes near Seyðisfjörður, where they meet people working with conservation and innovation while preparing a feast inspired by the landscape.
