In episode five, we meet the chef trying to put Amager on the culinary map — quite literally.
Yngve Fobian is the head chef at Øens Spisested — a "local" restaurant in more ways than one.
For one thing, most of its ingredients are from Amager — a haul celebrated on a map in the dining room.
Fish come from the icy waters of the Øresund, vegetables from fields near Dragør, game from the island's forests, and fruits and flowers from its commons.
Yngve also gives free meals to locals who share the bounty of their allotment gardens.
Yet at Øens Spisested, locally sourced 'mad ' (Danish for 'food') isn't the only thing on the menu.
Amager's rich — and often infamous — history is, too.
Indeed, Øens Spisested is as much a celebration of the island's identity as its food — which may make it the most distinctive restaurant in town.
