Shoot, I was hoping to meet the real tatersalad!!! Have you seen him, he is hysterical, just my kind of humor

The restaurant that I regularly ate at and a few steps across the street from my apartment building was, Morelia Restaurant at corner of Nicaragua and Humbolt, in Palermo Hollywood. The food was delicious. Happy Travels!

we found different situations at different restaurants - just ask or look around at other tables. Re: food to go, they usually aren't to happy about it, but we were successfull in getting to-go food at EVERY restaurant we ate during our 2-week trip (we rented an apt and had the leftovers for lunch) - sometimes they just jerry-rigged a plastic container lid with some foil, but that was fine with us.

One thing that's changed in the last year or so, and this is mostly in response to Dr. D's assertion about the beef here - nearly 40% of beef here is now produced on feedlot (give your thanks to the USFDA and the British equivalent, both governments put pressure on the Argentines to start using antibiotics, growth hormones, and produce more in order to allow the beef to be imported) and therefore not of the quality that Argentina is famous for. It's something that's a matter of quite a debate going on right now, with a good number of folk supporting the banning of feedlots here (let's hope that actually happens!).

It is one thing for the IMF to impose its will on Argentina. It is another and much more serious thing for the USDA to impose its standards on Argentie beef producers.

Gives new meaning to the term Damn Yankee.

On my next trip to Buenos Aires, I believe I will take to the streets and start banging on my pot in front of the US Embassy to protest this display of Cultural Imperialism.

Viva Argentina. Down with Yanqui Imperialists.

:)

Ok, now that my tantrum is over...where can we still find the grass fed beef for which Argentina is noted? Which restaurants have resisted this insult to Argentine tradition?
