It's mid-week and five Italians are battling it out in their kitchens in a week long food fight. Keeping it authentic in the kitchen is loudmouth music producer Lazzaro Pisu. Joining him around the dinner table is; bubbly coupon queen Mirella Martino, cutesy acro dancer Erica Carinci, outspoken gardener Lulu LoBuglio and mellow insurance agent Lou DeSantis. Kicking things off in his own cured meats section of the home, Lazzaro puts together a plethora of meats, cheese and olives for his appetizer: antipasto. Despite being able to perform magic, he'll need to impress his dinner party guests more with his main: stuffed lamb chops and steamed asparagus. Finally for his final course he serves something called Sardinian zeppole for dessert or better described as an Italian doughnut. Can the music-loving cook go out on a high note, or will he be disappearing into an empty money pit?
