La Nación raised the question in an article a couple of weeks ago. What do you think?
Will parrillas become gourmet venues?

The smaller the middle class, the more bifurcation: so, since the middle class here is shrinking, it is thus inevitable that all venues will either become low-end or high-end. That's basically the definition of a non-middle-class society.

I went to La Cabrera only, with a friend from my youth who now lives in Barcelona. He was not impressed, nor was I.
Posh parrilla, aimed to tourists and wealthy locals. I was interested to see how the meat would have been different than a regular parrilla. It wasn't. The presentation was better, upscale - to European standard for a meat place (in Europe meat is expensive). There were many sides, small sides, the french fries were as bad as usual (never crispy, damn!) so I don't really understand all the fuss.
The place is well maintained, there is a hostess outside offering refreshments while you are queuing. The waiters speak English. I can understand why tourists go there, but I do not understand why the locals still do. Is it to be seen? Or do they really offer different dishes to locals, beside the entraña mentioned in the article?

It's a job nowadays to find a decent bife de chorizo that hasn't got the consistency of an old shoe.
I blame feed lots.

Have you tried El pobre Luis in Belgrano (Arribeños 2393)? After reading this article on LN I have decided that next guests in town will get a round there. The thing is that it is open at night only, and it is closed on Sunday.

We very rarely venture into Cap Fed to eat to be honest.
