On this episode, Jorge meets the arm wrestling club of Tijuana, and visits a drive-in theater with great food. Did you know arm wrestling is a sport? Neither did we. But we meet a group of professionals, and they give us tips on how it is done. Then we see and participate in a friendly contest at a gym. We then take a visit to Gastro Cinema, which combines amazing food with a drive-in movie theater. It may actually be the only drive-in movie theater in all Mexico, delivering great flavors and a great experience.
