I went to a random parilla stand (one of many) lined along the Parque Mujeres area. I wanted to try the Choripán that people seem to rave about. Also found a supermarket (Jumbo) to buy some items to take home and a wine vendor (Tiempo de Vinos) for some decent Malbec to take back with me. I wanted to do some other things like take a cooking class and try some other places, but the Labor day/Sandwich Day (not food related) interfered with my plans.

The goal was to stick to eating foods I couldn't get at home. Only failed once when I got a hamburger at the hotel.

Anyway, I'm hoping to write up a report, or at least post some links and more detail on this page about the foods and such that I experienced on my trip.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and info posted on this thread.
