Editorial Summary

The creators explore the culinary landscape of Buenos Aires, Argentina, as part of their journey toward Antarctica. They begin with a sunset river cruise on the Rio de la Plata, sampling sangria and appetizers. The family then experiences formal Argentinian dining, featuring steak, malbec wine, and empanadas. To find more local flavors, they visit a specialized empanada shop to compare street food with restaurant versions and use a hop-on hop-off bus to navigate the city, visiting landmarks like the national soccer stadium. Their exploration continues in the San Telmo neighborhood, where they visit a local market to observe handmade pasta and artisanal goods. The trip includes a visit to a family-owned salumeria to sample aged parmesan and national salami. The creators conclude their stay by enjoying a private picnic of these local delicacies at their hotel before preparing for their flight to Ushuaia to begin their Antarctic expedition.
