Going to Argentina in 48 HOURS! Let's talk people!

Oh and if you like sweetbreads (or even if you don't) try grilled mollejas. If sliced thin and cooked until crispy, tastes almost like bacon.

Best restaurant guide: Guia Oleo Also check out SaltShaker. Sorry to drop links like that but those are really the best and most comprehensive resources out there for restaurants.

Many of the restaurants listed in the major travel guides and newspapers are typically expensive tourist traps that serve mediocre food so be weary. (Particularly one that is labeled "the best steakhouse in Argentina" and is in Puerto Madero)

I've heard a lot of raves about La Cabrera. Huge steaks, bunch of little tapas-style side dishes included. Do make a reservation.

Pizza is a bit different than what you get in the States but definitely worth a try. At most places the pies have hardly any visible crust. Other than cheese of course, ham is the most popular topping. Roquefort pizza is delicious. Or the napolitana that has mozzarella, thin slices of fresh tomatoes, chopped garlic and parsley.

For street food try a bondiola sandwich or choripan.

Hangover? Milanesa con papas fritas.

Whoa, that is seriously way too much lettuce.

I'll second Tom Jenkin's!!! It seems you are looking for something different (water view to enjoy Florida?) but still, stop by if just for a snack; really.

BBQ Wine

@KDBlue: There were so many beers that I wanted to try--outside of hitting up various bars, but to have to buy them by the case, instead of at least six-packs, was a bit too much.

This was during Thanksgiving holiday so it was very annoying to have to drive to one place to get beer and then make a 20 minute drive to another place that had a great selection of wines. Then, when the beer distributors were closed, we had to drive to some restaurant to buy a few six packs of crappy beer.

What's funny, or saddening, is that when I talked to a few people that recently transplanted themselves there, they used to just buy a six-pack and live off of that for a couple of days. Now that they have to buy beer by the case, they drink much more.

Anyway, sorry for taking your question off topic.

BBQ Wine

heh PA....paid a visit there late last year...the liquor/wine/beer selling system killed my brain.

Argentinean malbec, if you can find it, for grilled meats. Very smooth and mellow. Not expensive as an import wine in the U.S. too. I think one of the roundup articles here at Serious Eats linked to an NYTimes article about them.

21+ ID Required to Buy Wine Ice-Cream and Sorbet

Nanny'ism at its best. New York and California are becoming quite skilled in the art.

Have any of these politicians tried wine ice cream? Although I can't speak for wine sorbet, and wine ice cream is quite tasty, I find it a bit too overwhelming after about 1/2 to 1 cup. I can understand restrictions up to a certain age, but 21? Come on....

*sigh*....unfortunately I don't live anywhere NEAR this place, but the burger looks glorious...I'll probably get rocks thrown at me for even suggesting this...but I would ditch the top bun, sort of 'disassemble' and eat with knife and fork...thus getting the appropriate amount of 'parts' with each bite....

Looks terrible. Is all that lettuce meant to suggest "plentiful bounty?" That slick of cheese looks like it was ladled on. Adam, you're soo right that something - anything - should have been done with the napkin settings to reference the restaurant's name - how do you put down just one napkin here, like every other place?

At least they've gotten rid of Nice Matin's once-topping for this, bitter and toothsome grilled radicchio. Uh, no.

I don't know, Carolina, I'm not a woman who'd shy away from a big burger!

Actually, a good homemade REAL aioli is great on a hamburger. Of course, I'm a garlic addict, but a mild one should suit all but true-blue garlic haters. I also think a hint of rosemary goes well with beef. On the other hand...yes, I can't imagine a woman ordering that burger. Our mouths open even less wide than most men's. I could imagine this at half-size, served on a plate with a good ciabatta bread served on the side, aioli also on the side, with the cheese and onions on top as they are now. Possibly a small salad of lettuces and good tomatoes served alongside. Then they could appeal to the women as well. It would be nice to have the choice...just sayin', that's what I would do in my restaurant. Options are always a good idea.

I had one of the best meals of my life at Blue Moon Fish Company and I recommend it to everyone who will listen. The menu is always changing but if they are still serving the baked grouper with crab/corn cake...it is a must.

Casa d'Angelo, on Federal Hwy., may be one of the best Italian restaurants in the southeast. A must! Also, Cero, in the new St. Regis Hotel is lovely and pricey and delicious, of that's what you're looking for.

Aioli? yikes. Ive been passing by this place for few weeks waiting for good news. Aioli is not good news for burgers...Im just sayin'

I read that there's rosemary aioli on it...maybe that's where the rosemary flavor was coming from?
