The Argentineans wanted to give us a taste of what they are offering the world in both food and wine, and tonight they showed us, complete with tangoist, delicious wines and Argentine delicacies, all held at the Delta Chelsea in downtown Toronto.
Four food stations serving everything from salmon and trout to lamb and scallops all under the direction of Natalia Machado … the highlight of the night was Machado’s own tamale topped with succulent beef short rib. Later in the evening I sampled the short rib on it’s on – and I was right, melt in your mouth delicious. I recognized Machado’s face from somewhere and I knew it wasn’t from either Argentina (where she comes from) or New York (where she is the chef and part owner of the restaurants Azul and Industria Argentina – translation: Made in Argentina) …
