Before he was a grime artist, the rapper Big Zuu worked the grill at Nando's and his passion for food has endured ever since. In this new series, Zuu pairs up with one comic each week to whip up a satisfying post-show meal from his travelling food truck. In tonight's opening episode, he is joined by one-liner stalwart Jimmy Carr after a show in Croydon. Carr is a sometime vegan and also a fast food fiend, so a seitan kebab is on the menu, as well as a truffle side dish to cater to Carr's taste for luxury.
