Number 1 on my list of must have culinary devices - look where we ended up as a result!

 The lobby of the Sheraton is soul less but luckily the Marriott has a great bar (and great martinis).  Even better, the restaurant has a DUCK PRESS!  Ever since watching the pressed duck on the Greatest Dishes in the World, I've wanted to play with one.  The restaurant was almost empty so, given my enthusiasm, I was allowed to play....  and ended up sitting with the one table, collecting their recommendations on best places to eat in Buenos Aires.

here's where we ended up and it was a perfect intro to Parrillas - La Tranquerra.  meat, meat, and then some.  Choice of Beef, goat or lamb.  very salted but tender

As well as some damn fine empanadas and chorizo, i ordered some blood sausage.  It was a lot gooopier (technical term) than i expected almost to the point of being a soup just contained within the skin so that it almost explodes when you pierce the skin.  I managed to eat maybe 2 tablespoons but was well worth the couple of pesos

ahh, yes, that would be my single (gulp) serve....
