In episode five, we meet the chef trying to put Amager on the culinary map \\u2014 quite literally.

Yngve Fobian is the head chef at \\xd8ens Spisested \\u2014 a "local" restaurant in more ways than one.

For one thing, most of its ingredients are from Amager \\u2014 a haul celebrated on a map in the dining room.

Fish come from the icy waters of the \\xd8resund, vegetables from fields near Drag\\xf8r, 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 \\xd8ens Spisested, locally sourced 'mad\\xa0' (Danish for 'food') isn't the only thing on the menu.

Amager's rich \\u2014 and often infamous \\u2014 history is, too.

Indeed, \\xd8ens Spisested is as much a celebration of the island's identity as its food \\u2014 which may make it the most distinctive restaurant in town.
