On today’s episode, the boys venture to the deepest and darkest parts of North London as Taylor introduces Sam to IKEA meatballs (and hotdogs). There, they puzzle over why exactly people love to eat out at a homeware store so much. Later, they dish on the hype-building, list topping, premium Dexter Beef cheeseburgers served and devoured in a backstreet Islington pub, The Compton Arms. And to finish, Sam and Taylor try Marmite farfalle, a noted departure from the Italian classic.

Rounding up Season 3 in ... style, Sam and Taylor opt out of a tour of London's hippest taco spots and instead revel in nostalgia and all things Americana. T.G.I Friday's is a rite of passage for many teenagers, but why do people continue to visit the establishment past-puberty? Is the food amazing? Are the cocktails out of this world? Are the servers world class? The answer to all the above is no.

In season three’s penultimate episode, Sam and Taylor talk all things Oscars – and more notably ‘Parasite’, as they reminisce over Korean fried chicken and bad Korean lager. Attention then swiftly turns to Oi Vita, a hidden gem of a Neapolitan pizza place that’s been hidden in plain sight for many a year.

With Taylor in California, Sam takes the opportunity to look back at the best moments of Set Meals so far.

As well as that look back at some of the highlights of the show so far, Taylor’s looking forward to indulging in the Californian staple In 'n' Out burger, with an eye on one of their much famed Double-Double's.
