Dfter the stoppage for the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup, Hi Darwin 9 returns to air tonight at 9.30pm on Channel 5 with the seventh and fourth to last episode.

Hi Darwin 9tonight’s categories

The challenge is Trattori against Stellati. So, on the one hand those in support of the restaurant as a place more authentic and genuine in which to have a meal. Maybe in the company of friends to chat freely, even while spending little.

On the other, the elegance, austerity and also the attention to detail that a starred restaurant has. Not a simple dinner, but a culinary experience in a refined environment, where you rely on the creativity of the chef. Chef who turns out to be more of an artist than a simple cook.

Representing the two categories are Claudio Amendola and Andy Luotto respectively. A choice in line with their mutual professional paths.

Claudio Amendola, from Giulio Cesaroni at the restaurant in Rome

Claudio Amendola is a symbol of Romanism, the true one that refers to the alleys of Trastevere, to the places where you can immerse yourself in culinary tradition, to the most authentic Rome. To favor the combination, having taken part in the successful Canale 5 series The Cesaroni.

For six seasons, from 2006 to 2014, he played the protagonist, the innkeeper Giulio. Owner of Bottiglieria Cesaroni in the historic Garbatella district, he embodies the stereotype of the true Roman. He has always cultivated an unbridled passion for Rome, porchetta, wine and has tattooed two symbols of the capital. These are the Colosseum and the Lupa. In short, a real Roman.

Claudio Amendola’s bond with the category he represents a Hi Darwinthen, is also demonstrated by having opened a restaurant in Rome reminiscent of classic trattorias. Wooden tables and chairs, references to the capital on the walls, but above all a menu that offers traditional dishes at affordable prices.

Who is Andy Luotto, from cinema to cooking

In turn, Andy Luotto embodies the right representative of the Stellati. Born in 1950, born and raised in New York, after graduating in cinematography from Boston University he made his TV debut. The program was The other Sundaywhich was followed Those of the night. In both cases, the deus ex machina was Renzo Arbore, his pygmalion.

Subsequently he acts in dozens of films and TV series, but his greatest passion is cooking. On the small screen he is the protagonist of various culinary programs and on various networks. Among all, La7, La7d, Alma TV and TV2000. Moreover, over the years he opened several restaurants and the kitchen has become its natural habitat.

Interviewed by the portal SDLTV by Sonia Bruganelli a few hours after the broadcast of Hi Darwinhe said: “I’ve been really lucky with cooking. I met the right people, starting from the enlightened ones who taught me the slipper. Then the strong impact with the South, with Puglia, Sicily. Being in the middle of the fields with the farmers, in the middle of the sea with the fishermen and with those who made cheese. Late in life I want just do this». An interesting challenge therefore lies ahead.

Hi Darwin 9the rehearsals of the episode and Mother Nature

Even in the seventh episode the race consists of several tests. The first is that through different historical eras, called A walk in time. Then it’s time for the Test of Couragewhere the contestants drawn must demonstrate that they are fearless, and The face to face. This the most heated moment of the programwhere the two categories try to demonstrate that their own is clearly superior to the other.

In the end, the test of the Cylinders. One member per team, closed in a transparent cabin, must answer a quiz. Each correct answer causes the rival’s cabin to fill up one notch with water. The wrong answer, on the other hand, fills your cylinder with a notch. Claudio Amendola and Andy Luotto are only the spokespersons of their respective groups. Helping them, in fact, is a large parterre that competes now in one heat and now in the other. The studio audience, made up of 200 people, decides who has the upper hand.

Also present in the studio is Mother Nature, the mask symbol of the program which is entrusted with the task of drawing by lot the competitors who must try their hand at the tests. Until now the public has admired Aleksandra Korotkaia, Sarah Shawn and Andreea Sasu. To these Lukasz Zarazowski was added as Father Nature. The identity of tonight’s Mother Nature is still top secret.
