In this thrilling episode, Luke Martin embarks on a culinary adventure in Cristiano Ronaldo's hometown of Madeira. Known as the "Pearl of the Atlantic," this picturesque island boasts the Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, a fitting tribute to the football legend. Luke dives headfirst into Ronaldo's favorite dish, Bacalhau à Brás, a traditional Portuguese specialty with a unique twist prepared by a skilled chef on the coast of Madeira. The dish features smoked cod, eggs, and potatoes, creating a symphony of flavors that even Ronaldo himself would approve of.
But the gastronomic journey doesn't stop there. Luke delves into the world of smoked meats at the restaurant, savoring succulent oxtail, brisket, and pork shank that are a true delight for the taste buds. To top it all off, decadent desserts like Creme Brulee and almond tart paired with Madeira wine add a sweet finale to this culinary escapade. As Luke savors each bite, he can't help but appreciate Ronaldo's impeccable taste not only in football but also in food.
Transitioning from the dining table to the football field, Luke explores Ronaldo's early stomping grounds and the academy named in his honor. The renovated soccer pitch in Ronaldo's old neighborhood stands as a testament to his humble beginnings and relentless work ethic that propelled him to greatness. Luke uncovers the story of a young Ronaldo, kicked out of school for his unwavering dedication to the sport, a true underdog turned global icon. As the episode concludes, Luke reflects on Ronaldo's inspiring journey, from poverty to international stardom, all while relishing the mouthwatering flavors of Madeira's culinary delights.
