and this series is about new Nordic cuisine

We'll be traveling across three Nordic capitals

exploring the culinary revolution that's turned this region into one of the most dynamic food destinations on earth

along the way we'll be meeting locals,

eating

drinking

and having a great time

hope you're hungry

in episode three we're traveling from Copenhagen to Stockholm

9:47 in the morning and we are about to leave

Who is it? Who is it with the camera in my face?

After last night, that was wild at War Pigs

lets go, lets go man

well as if we didn't have enough beer last night

we are heading to Carlsberg brewery we're going to do a brewery tour

have one last beer in Copenhagen before we head over to Stockholm

well we safely arrived to the Carlsberg brewery

and we're going to do a little sampling and a tour of the brewery

whenever I come to breweries I always kind of feel like i'm in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory

Where are the Umpa lumpas? I don't know, that's the question

they made a lot of beers in the first years

and lots of late night testing just to make sure the beer was right

but this was also the start of the industrialization in Denmark

because this was the first place where you lived on your work place and you didn't have a family

so you put everything into your job

alright so we are learning a little bit about the history of this place

and now we are going to go behind the scenes at the Jacobsen brewery

this is like that scene in Star Wars now the walls start coming together

we're now underground in the, basically in the basements, of what used the be the place where they stored all the beer

that Carlsburg made which was supplying all of Scandinavia and much of the world

it's also where they used the store the intergalactic spaceships which they used to transport all of the beer across Scandinavia

I think they need to start having house parties down here, which would be really cool

tonight we have the crazy techno party in the underground

so are we ready to do some beer tasting?

we certainly are, do you have any particular interests you want me to take into acount?

make it good

make it good? I will

what we have here are four of the Jacobsen beers

which are actually made on sight here at the brewery

we have the Jacobson velvet, an ale

we have the Extra Pilsner, Sans Blonde, and in the end the most popular one, the Brown ale

let's drink it

there he is, there he is alright

to the airport we're headed to Stockholm, Sweden

alright guys we just got to the airport, i'm stoked, we've never been to Sweden before

it's going to be new, we've heard good things about Stockholm it's supposedly really pretty

The Venice of the north is what they say, the Venice of the north

the Venice of the north, let's see

Bye Copenhagen, you're awesome, stay awesome

nap time

ladies and gentleman welcome to Stockholm

dude, Stockholms airport, it leads to the Bat Cave

this is an insanely fast train it's traveling towards Stockholm at 200 km/per hour

it's basically a bullet train

we've been super lucky with the weather it's 24 degrees, it's super beautiful

I haven'y been here long but I have a feeling I like...I like this country

welcome to Sweden

I can't sit though it's time to explore the city, we're only here for like less than 24 hours

it's time to turn and burn

hope in

say hello to our friends here, hello Amelia, Rebecca

alright so we are showered cleaned and ready to go explore Stockholm we're going to start off with the Spirits museum

my liver's already hurting from the last couple days

I think by the end of this trip our blood stream will not be blood it will just be like acohol

I think it will just be pure happiness

Stockholm is actually made up of 14 islands

and in total there are 30 thousand islands in the whole Swedish archipelago

so we just went from downtown Stockholm to another island called Djurgården

which is where the majority of the museums are found

guys this place is so pretty! My god

and we seriously scored with the weather this is just an absolutely stunning evening

super warm and just really happy to be here in Stockholm

So my buddy Nick Iverson and his girlfriend Kabi are right here, let's go say hello

yo yo yo

Welcome!

hey how are you?

alright guys we just go to the Spirit Museum and we're going to do a bit of a taste test

Yes so we have Nadia here who is a Sommelier, how would you..?

Ya i'm the drinking expert

and what are we going to try today?

you're going to have some Swedish things

that one smells nice

this one's got the horseradish smell

it's also like....pepper rod

not liking that pepper rod

I don't want it

the other one, the pink one kind of smells nice it's like rosey

how do you say cheers in Swedish? Skål?

notes of horseradish, horse manure

I like that

that's good, I feel the hair growing on my chest

it was better than i expected

alright more alcohol...

I mean, i'm not gunna lie horseradish is like my least favorite condiment

I have nightmares of like waking up covered in horseradish sauce

you're a weird person

now we say skål

Skål

into your skull

no

I have a question about mid summer, I used to live with some Swedish girls

and she told me that you guys dance around a large phallic object during mid summer

and you sing a song, like a drinking song about bumblebees

Can we clarify? What was she talking about?

this is the penis pole

exactly, that we dance around

but why are the balls on the top?

you never know, we're Swedes

What is this?

the funny thing is, this is from the old days

and he was putting Vodka in it and then we were going over the fields and spreading the seeds

and it's really true I mean i'm not joking now

this was used to be a good harvest

learn something new everyday

Mark's just finishing up inside at the Spirit Museum

but i've just had to come outside right now it's so nice you guys

there's something about those nice warm Scandinavian summer sunsets

Where we headed?

so now it's time for dinner we've got a beautiful sunset

looking at the Venice of the north

we're going to go hop on the other island onto this boat, let's go!

interesting fact, this right here is a fresh water lake and that's the Baltic Sea behind me

and where i'm standing right now is a lock that's actually sinking

so this whole area here is going to have to be destroyed

because they have to rebuild it

well we've only been here a few hours but i'm very fast to fall in love with Stockholm

this place is absolutely gorgeous, the people are beautiful and friendly

and now we've just walked across this bridge to Södermalm it's an island

so we're going to dinner at Woodstockholm

like Woodstock and Stockholm together

and it's supposed to be....it's a new restaurant, but there's been a lot of great things been happening there, good news so...

we're going to go check it out

we were walking through this place and we just could not just walk through it

so we've had to sit down and have a beer

how about a slow motion beer shot?

slow moo....

Cheers, Skål, Skål, Skål, Skål

they make eye contact right?

so the Swedish way of toasting is, you look someone in the eye

and then you drink, you can say Skål

then you drink

now you can break eye contact

and you look again

you look again?

ya

and this, they say, is that in Viking times

people apparently used to poison the drink of your enemy

and if you can look me in the eye twice

you wouldn't have poisoned my drink

so that was a beautiful sunset beer

and now dinnertime, you hungry?

I'm starving

is this place called Woodstock?

ya so it's Woodstock, it's called Woodstockholm

kind of like a play on words there

ya it's like Woodstock and Stockholm, Woodstockholm...Woodstockholm

ya

my name is Simon

and you're at Woodstockholm

this restaurant started out unlicensed in the head chefs' moms garage

where people didn't know what they were going to eat

they just knew how much they were going to pay

and that we would more or less guarantee that they would be satisfied

and that later on evolved into this

people walk out of here with a smile on their face and a full belly

so radishes are really important in Nordic cooking

because before the arrival of the potato

root vegetables were one of the only things they could grow up here in this climate

so we have some carrots and radishes with kimchi sauce and some red crops

we're told that double dipping is ok

that's good

that's real good

how nice is that carrot? That's a beautiful carrot

it's like all and perfect

love it

it just keeps getting better

we have poached oysters in a butter and white wine sauce

garnished with roasted almond

this is a special treat

Swedish oysters are said to be some of the best in the world because they're grown in cold waters

and there's only 15 tons harvested per year

so, this is really special and i'm excited to try this thing i've heard a lot about it

oh my god

like butter baby like butter

bye guys thank you

peace

alright next stop is the cluuuubbbb

this is regular me

this is how i started this trip

and this is how i feel now

well guys it's been another amazing day up here

I can't believe that we started the day in Denmark and now we are finishing it in Stockholm it's insane

and Stockholm is a seriously cool city

we just got here, first time here but it's got super tons of style and this club's awesome!

and so we have a little bit more to explore here tomorrow so tune in for that
