guys good morning we are off to the airport in buenos aires argentina to pick up our very special
guests and we're already running a bit late so more about that later right now
let's go find a taxi
so we made it to the airport we thought we were running a bit late but it's a
Saturday there wasn't a whole lot of traffic on the highway to get to us ASAP
early so that means we're going to need some caffeine hey we're at the Havana
Cafe to be recorded so good we got the meringue ones of course and yeah the
flights been delayed just by ten minutes so we've got time to spare maybe we'll
show you some Airport scenes it's kind of funny being at the airport when
you're not traveling for us anyways yeah I think my first Argentine Alfajor forever

Wow okay aren't you glad you met me and that my family introduced you to go to
Savannah yeah these are one of the top alfajores
mass-produced alfajores you can get yeah Argentina obviously people have a bakery
the made fresh to be fantastic dessert these are just so good what's a nice
wage let's just chill before your dad arrives

mm-hmm like 14 hours because I came through Chile now the flight doesn't
come straight from Toronto to Buenos Aires anymore yeah it goes via Santiago mm-hmm
and in Santiago we had to get off the plane and wait till they cleaned it and
board again and you know that the waste of time right so finally I just made it
to the airport about an hour ago and I was starving because I don't like plane
food that's the to feed you but I it's like to kill you so I have told this guy
before I left Toronto expect me with something at home because I'm gonna be
famished mm-hmm and here we have some nice salami beautiful cheese we got

more three weeks in in Argentina we're gonna eat and we're gonna drink like
there is no tomorrow
keep in touch because you're gonna be amazed what we can put away hey guys
it's night time we are hungry Potter appetites and we're heading to one of
our favourite steak houses in buenos aires called parrilla peña and all what it's a bridge opinion opinion
yeah this is a steak house family steak house it's nothing really
extremely fancy but it is a really good place to eat asado
parrilla peña we've been there a couple of times before one of the coolest things
is that this place was recommended to us a few years ago by a local so I love
that it's yeah just like you said it's a family type of place non-pretentious the
focus is on the food can be down there and we go there every time we're in the
city of buenos aires is unless good prices good portions yeah and good quality so
one more Kenyatta exactly let's go have a bite now for starters
getting some banana these are free of charge
yes these look really good ground beef green olives
the taste yeah YUM some people love olives others ate them I think they're
great an empanada yeah it's like the polarizing ingredient
they're very good excellent very fresh very peaceful you know just to open up
the appetite exactly is an entree we already ordered the steak yeah and the
asado I'm gonna have some salad and some Malbec the wine so this is kind of
preferred Islamic what is coming okay and what coming is really good
Rebecca
so guys the company all the needs that he ordered the complete salad which has
way too many to list them all but I do see like lettuce potato carrots tomato
we have eggs we have celery it's good to get the greens in before the meat
because then there's no room how can we come I'm waiting for my meat yeah it's
not I feel like I'm a rabbit you know should
eating grass right next to this she'll be coming any minute now
yeah right this place it's 8:20 and it's already starting to feel it you
know people are coming in like crazy yeah
so when you see traffic like this yeah that means that place is good that's
good yeah they keep coming in and they keep them in if you get here by 9:30
forget it you won't have any room on you line up outside yeah that's it tea thank
you you come from North America from whatever it is that you come from
come here early yeah around from 8:00 8:15 yeah you'll find a spot for supper
yeah and guys this place hasn't changed since we've been here it's just as good
it's just it's got that classic feel that we have these are the typical
Buenos Aires places that they they look like like this forever you're gonna come
in here at 40 years from now and they still want to look the same
yeah these are traditional places where you eat good and the owners are not
really worried about before making it fancy they concentrate on whatever it is
that they give you people indeed yeah and that's a good amount good quality
and people just coming back in yeah nobody cares about the pictures on the
walls or stuff like that yeah you care about
time to begin to filming so we ordered two cuts of meat horses are enormous so
we're sharing it among station yeah we have the Peabody Tereza
which is one of the most famous cuts using death and it's just unbelievable
it's so juicy guys like lard it's just unbelievable
this place is still so my favorite Parisian house I can clean up no one's
did home - yeah maybe no one ever will decent people not because I was born in
Argentina if you haven't tried Argentinian beef before your way in from
Uruguay they have very good speed same like in Argentina we're not going to
leave them out because they're good if you haven't tried the beef in this land
you haven't tried anything yet nothing compared in the flavor of this beef
these are animals that are raised grazing natural grasses and the flavor
of the beef is something that you're not going to find any words in the world it
only has salt and pepper they are famous for that and it's not just a cliche is
the truth when you come here and you taste it it's it's a flavor that it
cannot be reproduced with any spices with any sauce with any gravy with
nothing it's a natural taste that's in the in the in the meat you know and it
cannot be duplicated anywhere in the world so come now you know people come
to Argentina coming here says the origins I'm in the gringos and the great
desert us here I seem to be the only one who's actually attacking it a little
something that you guys can share and then it arrives and it's a beast and a
piece of desert our homemade tiramisu it's no good it's not like the lights on
the flavor bit of cinnamon and cocoa powder on top there's so much cream do
you have a great burden on your shoulders
alright guys so we are back at home now back in the apartment that was a
wonderful first dinner first barbecue back in Argentina how did you enjoy it
oh it was amazing the that meat that we had it was just
out of this world it's Argentinean beef your way and beef
also I always say the people from your way they have a pretty good meat in the
same like in Argentina so I always they always go together you know but this is
something that you're not going to find any words in the world you know it's the
flavor of this beef is just yeah to describe it you know yeah I got to taste
it yourself yeah I'm a little bit still from I sister right this morning after a
14-hour flight and I'm still like I know I feel like I'm in the air I don't lag
and kind of I'm not in my hundred percent capability so even to eat I was
a little bit you know slow but yeah we took care of that one we ordered and not
enough one portion for each of the three of us but we ordered for two people and
that was more than enough because we almost we couldn't even finish we had to
like push ourselves to try and finish everything in front of us because it was
so much food I'm price wise well we're talking about
the meal the total was 46 US dollars right so if you take that and you
divided by three it's basically 15 u.s. dollar person and so that included the
complimentary bread the empanadas yeah a bottle of reserved Malbec a major brand
trek PJ yeah two cuts of meat two great cuts of meat this out an awesome solid
and it huge slab of dessert to hear tiramisu
they brought up yesterday's so even for three people that dessert was yeah
there's no way one person should order a dessert for themselves because it yeah
if you go to a place like this to this don't forget that here in Argentina the
the portions are humongous yeah I mean we are not talking about European sizes
or you know some other countries here when they they serve you they serve you
in such an amount that how do I finish these so always be cautious if you order
as always the waiter is this enough for two and they're going to tell you as a
portion that is enough for two people so so you don't leave anything behind you
know like you ordered to order and then you cannot finish it so that's that's
the thing that you have to always be aware of when you come to this to this
country but they eat they eat good everything is tasty but the portions are
huge you know yeah so that's something you you need to be yeah so another
fantastic meal we also have a fun schedule tomorrow
what's yeah we're planning to go in search or what's been named the best
milanesa in the whole city a super meanin asa that like overflows from a
plate yeah so we're gonna track that place down
that's the plan yeah now that we've got full bellies we're gonna get a good
night's rest yeah maybe maybe a cafe con leche in the
morning oh that's a must yeah Cafe con Leche when Osiris you need
to try it is the best coffee Kaka fail there that you can get you know I mean I
consider it one of the best around the world because I have tasted coffee
everywhere and coffees bitter usually here is the coffees got an aroma
so sweet that is is it or not and they bring it
with those maybe as Lunas they're like a smaller
butter croissant yeah they usually bring you three every time you order a cafe au
lait they bring any croissant to to be part of that that breakfast yeah oh my
oh my so that's a good breakfast yeah yeah tomorrow tomorrow should be an
exciting episode from buenos aires argentina one oh sorry is hitting the road and the other adventure
continues we'll see you there okay bye
