I can't think of a better way to kick off season 2. I have been lucky enough to work with Max for a few years now, and believe me when I tell you; you will be hard-pressed to find a more warm, energetic, and positive person. I would take Max with me everywhere I go if I could. He makes everything fun, and his eagerness to share his knowledge is unmatched. He has lived a fascinating life, and I am sure you will leave this episode with a smile on your face and a desire to travel to Italy for a good meal.
