Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, remains the beef capital of the world. Argentinians eat an average of 100 lbs. of beef per capita per year! Our culinary heritage comes mainly from Italy, Spain and France and our cultural melting pot is unique in the Americas. From the French influence, Basque people like in Idaho, Northern California and Nevada, have also immigrated massively to Argentina. Marco’s family, originally from the French Basque country, was part of that immigration and settled in Buenos Aires where Marco’s mother was raised. The family came back to France and Marco was born in that French Basque country benefiting of both Basque and Argentinian culinary tradition.
