Master chef Eyvind Hellstrøm returns with this "duel" series, challenging one Norwegian celebrity after another to a (surprisingly) friendly cook duel! Hip gangster-jazz-acid-rock was the name of the game to introduce Hellstrøm, now free from hopeless restaurant cases, and instead reveling in his own zone, so to speak. There was also a (even hipper!) Mancini-style bossa jazz alternative, which later got replaced with the final version. The surgically clean, stylish and awesome intro sequence was filmed and produced by Racecar.

Trivia: Erik Johannessen's beautiful trombone solo was recorded in one take!
