Munich

Gregg heads to Munich, the capital of the German state of Bavaria, to discover a city that has arguably done more to shape the image of Germany than any other. Over the course of three days, he discovers what it means to be Bavarian and how important history, traditions and, of course, food is to that identity. He gets stuck into pretzels, schnitzels and mountains of pork as he eats his way around the city. Before he leaves the city, Gregg takes home a special souvenir - his very own set of lederhosen.
