Episode notes

Simone brings the case against her husband, Julian. They’re currently living abroad in Portugal, on the island of Madeira. They’ve enjoyed adapting to the customs of their new home, but Julian can’t get used to their special built-in grill. Simone says they should do as the Portuguese do and figure out how to take advantage of this beautiful piece of equipment. Julian thinks they should just buy a hibachi. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
