ASADO

WHEN I TOLD MY FRIEND I WAS HEADING TO SOUTH AMERICA HE SAID "AH, ARGENTINA WHERE CHICKEN IS A VEGETABLE" HE WAS RIGHT, IT WAS A MEAT FEST AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. (JUST HAD A FULL RUN OF MEDS AND FOUND SURPRISING LOW CHOLESTEROL…) ASADO - BRING IT!

THE PIT

WE WERE DRINKING THESE VINTAGE BOTTLES OF ZAPATA LIKE WATER. THESE VERY RARELY FIND THERE WAY TO THE STATES AND ARE VERY SPECIAL INDEED.

THANKS CATENA ZAPATA AND AGAIN EDDIE BAUER

ARGENTINA:JOURNEY STARTS HERE

LAST WEEK I MADE MY WAY TO THE TIPILIUKE LODGE IN PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA. THE JOURNEY STARTED IN BUENOS AIRES, A STAY AT THE ALVEAR PALACE HOTEL, A WALK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND OF COURSE STEAKS. THE NEXT DAY WAS A QUICK FLIGHT TO SAN MARTIN DE LOS ANDES. THE CONTRAST OF THESE TWO PLACES COULD NOT BE MORE EXTREME.
