In Genoa, pesto isn’t just a sauce—it’s a legacy. Brent dives into the city’s food scene to uncover the best pesto in town (including one version with a very unexpected ingredient). Between bites, he tackles pandolce, hops aboard a bizarre train to a castle, drinks decadent hot chocolate, investigates Christopher Columbus’ questionable birthplace, and ends the day with some seriously spicy Kenyan food. This Genoa food crawl gets weird—in the best way.
