Today’s Video: Arriba charruas!

Monday we missed posting our usual daily video clip; to make up for that, we’re embedding two videos today that look at Uruguay.

The first clip looks at Uruguay’s title in the first ever soccer World Cup held in 1930. Tuesday was the 78th anniversary of that championship which they won in Montevideo over neighbors (and close rivals) Argentina by a score of 4-2:

The most recent episode of “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” aired this past Monday. The famed chef/author traveled to Uruguay with his brother to check out some family history and (naturally) try some of the local delicacies. As you can tell from the brief clip below, Uruguay is all about meat, meat, meat!
