Well, if you like the masa, you’re in luck, at least for the dinner we were at they just used pre-made supermarket ones (and said that’s what they normally do), I don’t know if they do something different for their catering, and the fillings that we were given to pack in them were some cooked ground beef, chopped hard-boiled egg, browned onions, raisins, and shredded cheese. I think it’s great that they’re able to get the number of folk they do for their events, and more power to them – makes me wonder though why it seems so much tougher to fill up dinners at 2/3 the price! Gotta be that whole interactive thing, and marketing. Yeah, marketing, I’ve heard that’s a good thing. Maybe I should give it a try.

Looked at the website and it is very professional. I wish them luck and hope there are enough tourists prepared to pay $200 for couple to keep them (and my little bed and breakfast) afloat. On the other hand, maybe I’m in the wrong business? I’ve got a dining area for 30, full catering kitchen and parrilla. At these prices I would make as much not having staying guests. Maybe there is demand for a genuine Argentine experience…pig slaughtering and morcilla making on the terrace anyone? A quick game of Pato. How to cry like an Argentina as “el que no llora no mama.” Hmm, suspect I better stick to my knitting!
