April Monthly Dinner

This month’s BAIN dinner will be on Tuesday, April 9.  The event is being organized by Jim Isaacs.  Jim reports:

The event will feature Basque food, which heavily emphasizes seafood.

The Basque independence movement in Spain and to some degree France draws the world’s eyes, but the Basque people have a very strong presence in Argentina and Chile, too.  By many estimates there are more people of Basque decent in Argentina than all of Europe, and there is a strong Basque community in Buenos Aires.  Five presidents of Argentina are reported to have been of at least partial Basque descent, including Urquiza, both Uriburus, and Yrigoyen.  Eva Peron and Che Guevera had Basque blood, too.

We will meet and dine at the excellent Restaurant Vasco Frances, located in the Basque cultural center, at 1370 Moreno (between Santiago del Estero and San Jose, in the Congresso nieighborhood).

Reviews: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312741-d1232371-Reviews-Centro_Vasco_Frances-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html

Here are the details:

Time: Tuesday April 9, 2013 at 9 p.m.

Place: Restaurant Vasco Frances (main dining hall of the Basque cultural center) 1370 Moreno.  Parking will be validated for 2 hours; let me know if you are driving and I will get specifics to you.

Cost: $ 175 per person, inclusive of three course meal, one glass of wine (likely to be augmented), one water or soda, cubierto and tip.

March Monthly Dinner

This month’s BAIN dinner will be on Tuesday, March 26.  The event is being organized by Jim Isaacs, our part-time dinner Chairman.

The event will be at restaurante 4141 in Palermo.  4141 has been very highly rated, and was well liked by the BAIN dinner group in a May, 2012 visit.   [So, you might ask: why return to a place where some of us have already eaten, when Buenos Aires has hundreds of excellent options?  Because Jim is still in the United States today, and is organizing this from a distance.  That means working with a restaurant manager he knows!]

Reviews: http://www.guiaoleo.com.ar/restaurantes/4141-Restaurante-9588

Here are the details:

Time: Tuesday March 26, 2013, at 8:45 p.m.

Place: 4141 Restaurante, located at Honduras 4141 (hence the name 4141; this is about 1/2 block from Gascón, in Palermo Viejo).

Cost: $ 150 per person, inclusive of three course meal, one glass of wine (which will probably be augmented without cost), one water or soda, cubierto and tip.

RSVP to Jim Isaacs at jisaacs61@hotmail.com

Finally, the menu:

First course (this will be served fairly close to 9 p.m., so that those who need to be at work the next day will not be out too late)

Tomato Soup
or
Pear, prosciutto and rucula salad

Main Course:

Brisket of beef (a favorite of almost all who have tried it at 4141) with choice of side dishes
or
Nut and ricotta cheese ravioli
or
Moroccan chicken

Dessert

Flan with port sauce
or
Ice Cream Soda with apples, fennel and parsley (yup, they mean it, and it is good)
