Where is the current Best Steak Place in Buenos Aires

It's hard to say whether argies are more short-sighted or more stupid. So the government read an Econ 101 text about "shipping good apples overseas." They fucked with export quotas to export the best cuts and leave the crap cuts in the supermarkets. I believe it was '06 when the government introduced a market basket of goods whose price was frozen for 18 months. This "market basket" included only these crap cuts.

Then soy prices went up. Greedy argies forgot that commodity prices are cyclical. They also forgot that excess profits attract competition and drive prices down to where producers earn a normal rate of return again. Argies then reduced grazing acreage and increased soybean production. The government wanted to continue to export X tons of beef. So let's say the export goal was 50% of the original production, just as an example. That means if domestic production is cut 10%, domestic consumption must fall 20%, and so forth.

And then, yes, greedy argies began to introduce feed lots and all of that. That turned a differentiated product, famous free range argie beef, into just another commodity. And, Argentina is way too inefficient in all the aspects of the distribution chain to even begin to compete, let alone excel, in a globalized and commodified market. Again these policies result from a desperation for hard currencies and that, my fellow mongers, is good news for international consumers of pussy who have hard currency.

Daddy, you make good points but none of that was what Argentina's reputation was based on, back when I made my post in 2008, and you know it.

If you love food then this place is not to be missed. I've been fortunate enough to eat there several times, and I never miss an opportunity - especially with the blue rate. I have also had the pleasure of dining at Sucre, and while not on the level of Tegui, it is certainly recommendable.

Hi Guys. I'm new here and I'm argentinean. Am I welcomed? LOL. Hope its OK for you and sorry for my english.

I agree that argentinean food is uninspired and flat. I've always said that, but it has reason: As you all know, we are well known around the world for our asados and the excellent quality of our meat. Paradoxically this was negative for our cousin. No one cares about Foie gras as long as we throw a piece of meat to the parilla and we obtain the best asado in the world.

However you should consider our country is very big and has tons of regional food. So don't judge argentinean food for what you had in Buenos Aires only.

"La Cabrera" is Good Enough for ANY of you !

There are 3 Cabreras on the same block .

They are ALL packed .

They must be doing something right .

It's good enough for Anybody !

TL.

What do you expect for a few pesos ?

La Cabrera is a tourist place I'll not say ripoff, but...

What they do right?

Marketing at the hotels and tripadvisor.

And good service, english portuguese speaking waiters and good quality.

Quality is not bad, but prices are more expensive than in many cities of Europe.

AND Buenos Aires too.

Parrilla Don Julio, located in palermo soho as well may be about 60% ~ 70% of your bottom line ticket.

Keeping same service and quality.

It may even be better than La Cabrera .

If someone is just passing through BA then either one should be Good Enough .

Fair enough .

If you decide to have dinner between 6:45pm and 7:59pm then La Cabrera will give you 40% off .

It's their little Off the Menu Special .

The best part about La Cabrera is the 10 or more Free side orders that come with your meal .

All You Can Eat .

Sort of Free . There is a cubierto involved .

That's good enough for me .

Thanks ,

TL.

Have yourself a 1 Kilo Steak !

Rare Baby !

Fuck the Tourist !

We are All Tourist !
