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.
