Asados, Parillas, Milongas and Tango

Before we set out on this trip, Mark signed us on to a closed door restaurant where local up and comers host visitors/guests in their house for a typical Argentine meal.

Kelly and Gabriel have a swanky townhouse in the artsy district of Palermo, which they've dubbed Adentro dinner club. Palermo what exactly I don't know, as there are a few. Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood and on and on.

We'd just arrived from Santiago that afternoon, checked into the hotel, and returned from a short trip to Recoleta, another swanky but more posh neighborhood in the city where we enjoyed (?) Macarons at the local McCafe. It is the Garbz and a Macaron is a macaron. McDonalds or not.

Kelly and Gabriel have outfitted their home with a barbeque and a custom made chimney, and have a weekly dinner party where strangers gather together in a single dinner table.

Kelly has settled here from North America with an aspiring chef, Gabriel, who shares not only my name, but my secret salad dressing recipe.
