Gary: "Cooking oxtails has to be absolutely perfect, it has to be tender but not falling off the bone and stringy... you can't allow to undercook it where it's tough and you can't even get it off the bone... yadda yadda yadda..." Keith: "... and all of that takes about 3 hours" Gary: "yadda yadda..."
