That was a wacky episode.

The mega-beef BBQ fest looked amazing, until Tony said all the beef was getting overcooked, by his standards. Interestingly, Tony grabbed some raw steak cuts for himself and grilled them to his own liking. Of course, nothing beats super fresh beef being expertly grilled over an open fire to a perfect medium rare. But, why didn't Tony eat the beef the way everyone else there was having it served? What happened to "eat like the locals"?? I'm thinking, if Tony can cook his own share of beef his way while visiting an Argentinian festival, then why not have his ostrich egg dirt omelet in Namibia, or even the wild boar sphincter, cooked to his preference???

The scenes with the gauchoes was sort of funny, but a bit longer than necessary. What a bunch of drunk asses!!

This episode was filled with all kinds of characters. The aging rock band, the quirky artist who makes and destroys sculptures of food, and then those two crazy gauchoes he dragged up the glaciers.

Finally, I'm not sure why seeing glaciers up close this time made Tony ponder his own mortality. He's already written before that these travels are already the gravy of his life, after years of drugs and struggles in various kitchens.

Just wondering what others thought of this episode.
