TAR 17 EP 10 "I Hate Chinese Food" (Hong Kong, China)
theschnauzers:
tivogirl, i was the first one to point out that TPTB or CBS were using "sushi" and I wasn't sure if it was used in Chinese culture at all or not. Din Sum, I can understand (as the TARcon folks almost always have a Din Sum brunch the day after the TAR finale in Manhattan.)
If it's the wrong label, that's just awful, because it isn't what TAR should be doing in showing lesser known elements of other countries and cultures.

It's possible that the clue will contain a warning if for any reason a diabetic could not do that task. In season 14, a Roadblock card said that the participant must be able to hear for safety reasons, and in season 15, a height restriction was placed on a task. Both times these warnings only excluded one racer.

Yes, especially since Nat had to answer any questions regarding her diabetes when she submitted her application.

I think Nat takes the task because Kat is a vegetarian. I also think Nat might be able to find some food that she can safely eat. But I don't think it'll matter much because I think Nick & Vicki come in last because they take a penalty.

They are not eating sushi, they appear be eating dim sum, which makes sense as Hong Kong is known for dim sum. Sushi is JAPANESE for cryin' out loud!
I've been to HK several times and we always stay over in the TST area, so I've been trying to pinpoint the location of this restaurant. So far, no luck.

I wondered about that. I don't know why CBS keeps calling it sushi
BTW... :welcome: to RFF!
