Reddit reviews Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way

> I would describe us a foodies on a budget.

If this is the case my advice would be to try and find an airbnb with an asado grill, ask someone local to you which butcher he goes to, fire it up and enjoy the most Argentinean experience possible! My partner is from Bsas but I'm from the UK. I love all the interesting cuts they have over there that you don't see anywhere else. Tira de asado, matahambre, chorizo, morcilla, mollejas are a good place to start. Get some bondiola and ojo de bife too. Then buy this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seven-Fires-Grilling-Argentine-Way-ebook/dp/B00MMSXR94 :)


Interestingly at the moment THE fashionable thing is gormet burgers and craft beer. Pretty much every other place you're going to see is doing that at the moment, check out Colegiales for a nice relaxed barrio with cool little bars and restos like this away from the beaten trail

Not really much of a scene for this in Argentina IMO be cautious of anything that's not an empanada

> walk around, find nice hidden cafes

It takes an hour or so to get there but go to San Isidrio for this, thank me later. Tigre is also a good shout

> chill at the park

Bosques de palermo

Be particularly vigilant if you're in the south part of the city at night. San Telmo is great for milongas and bar hopping but be on your guard. Other than that I'd say it was the equivalent of going to NYC. Not a dangerous city so to speak, but certainly in parts and people might try to take advantage of you IF given the opportunity- keep your wits about you and you'll not have any problems

You're going to absolutely love it!

Yeah, this was a campsite with logs and charcoal. Fire was only a little bit charcoal, and after reading "seven fires" recently I think I'll do it on a wood fire next time:
