Just had myself an asado (barbecue) here in Buenos Aires the other day! :)<p>A few things about the culture and article:<p>The meat is not universally great. One has to find the right butcher- he will be a lifelong friend. Also, the chicken here is really pumped full of hormones, so I hear...<p>The good meat, however, is great. And it is given the proper respect it deserves. At a proper asado it is served without condiments and enjoyed by all. The asador is a hero when the meat is well-cooked.
