Tehran
Emam Khomeini Street
The best food in Iran is made at people's houses. Tony's host cooked him a huge meal in her house. They had chicken cream soup, Fesenjan (a stew of fried chicken, onion, ground walnuts, pomegranate, dried apricot, tomato paste), Mahia Halva (tilapia), Ghemieh (beans and meat), Tahdig (crispy rice).
Milad Tower
A symbol of national pride, the tallest building. Tony visited the observation deck. During the shoot, a huge sandstorm rolled through the area, causing parts of the building to fly off. This was all captured on film.
