The 5 Euro Challenge in Vienna

Introduction to the Contestants

In a fascinating culinary challenge held in Vienna, three contestants — David, Matasu, and the narrator — each have five euros to prepare the best meal possible while visiting local grocery stores. The challenge emphasizes creativity, budgeting skills, and knowledge of the best places to shop in the city.

Contestant Strategies

David, having lived in Vienna for over eight years, is well-acquainted with the various grocery chains. His strategy is to break down his shopping into several stores, getting the best items from each one. He dreams of creating a charcuterie board featuring cured meats, cheeses, bread, and even grapes if he can fit them into his budget.
