Is he supposed to act like a child? Every time he walks into some new restaurant or candy factory he starts to act like a hyperactive little kid. He starts grabbing stuff and putting his head in ovens and heavy machinery like he's trying to find the little elves who live inside. If you watch the people he visits, you can totally see them rolling their eyes wondering what planet this guy came from. It's one thing to be curious and interested in the food he's discovering, but it's another to be a complete idiot. Case in point... he was making some food from Argentina and they had to draw out a map to show him where Argentina was!
