It is day Day 248, the outskirts of downtown Buenos Aires at the Munro Train Station. Stephen and I are headed into the center to find the restaurant called La Cabrera where I intend to buy us dinner, and eat the biggest steak of my entire trip. If not for having gone there once before, it would easily be the largest steak of my life.



In no time at all, were down town in the Retire Station, a massive colonial style building that serves as the main train hub for the city.



We soon hailed a cab, and found ourselves headed even more so into the center of Buenos Aires, into the Palermo district. Fortunately for us, the driver knew where to take us.

When we arrived, we put our name down on the waiting list, and settled in next door at the adjacent bar and shared a liter while we chomped on a bowl of peanuts. It was a good called Patagonia.



In about 30 minutes, my name was called and less than a minute later we were seated inside La Cabrera, looking at menus that consisted mainly of Steaks and meat cuts. Steve ordered the 400gram (14oz) Rib Eye steak, and I ordered the 800gram (28oz) Rib Eye. I am glad that I did. It was awesome!

We also ordered one of the cheaper bottles of wine which was still great, and enjoyed the entire meal, complete with the several side dishes that come along with the steak. Steve was stoked, I was in hog heaven.



Steve promptly “smashed” his steak after this photo, and left nothing to spare. Not a crumb.



This type of meal gets a thumbs up from me!



If you are vegetarian, or the thought of consuming large quantities of meat disturbs you, you may look away now.



And that was my last night in B.A. and last night in South America, sharing a fantastic meal with the new owner of my bike, who is about to embark on an adventure of his own soon as well.

I you are ever in B.A, check this place out (La Cabrera).



After leaving the restaurant, and finding our way back to the train station, and catching the train to the station closest to our hotel, we called it a night. It was T-17hours until lift off.
