Beef Quest 1

Argentinian Beef, the best beef in the world. Legendary stories have been told to us on our way to Argentina as far a field as New Zealand. Rumours of steaks you can cut by just resting your knife on the top have tantalised us for months.
Finally we have arrived in Mendoza, Argentinas wine capital which produces 70% of the countries plonk. Unfortunately Sam is off alcohol while she gets rid of the Hives, so the countries sales will not be as forecasted when the Argentinian Wine Association was prewarned about her imminent arrival. However beef sales will be up because I have lost 10 kilos in Peru in preparation for the feast.
As soon as we dumped our bags we limped into town and immediatley asked a local where we should go to eat the famous meat. We followed the directions to an all you can eat buffet resturant called ´Ottos Tenedor Libre´. The meat was crap. I chewed for about 5 minutes before I could swallow. Disappointed the search continues.
