Jamie kicks off his road-trip close to home in London's East End, uncovering his family's roots in the area and tasting classic pie and mash and modern Vietnamese street food. Jamie meets a chef turning humble burgers into gourmet cuisine before he heads for his home territory, Southend-on-Sea and the Essex coast, in his mobile kitchen/pub. Jamie collects winkles and has a barbecue with his mum, dad and nan. He also cooks up four delicious British recipes, including a delicious beef and ale pie dedicated to Kate and Will's wedding, Leigh-on-Sea sole cooked with shellfish and brown shrimps, fresh oysters four ways, and baked sea bass in a bag.
