Food fanatic Stefan Gates and his intrepid Gastronuts go on wild culinary adventures to discover the truth about how we eat, what we eat and where it comes from. Along the way they indulge in hare brained experiments, crazy cooking and eat the world's weirdest food. With money tight, can the Gastronuts make their cash go further with what they eat? Along the way they find ways to eat using a set of customised bicycles, rummage in some rubbish bins and get thrifty with a whole sheep.
