towards the end of 2019 samuel my dad daniel  and i embarked on a trip to south america  

samuel and i traveled across argentina uruguay  and chile over the course of three months  

and my dad joined us for the first six weeks  of that trip we got back to canada just before  

the madness of 2020 began and well we figured it  was high time we started publishing those videos  

so here's a bit of travel inspiration which may  perhaps turn into a longing for different times  

not long past either way we hope you'll enjoy  these videos now let's hop on that flight to  

buenos aires argentina and we'll update  you on the plan as soon as we get there  

well hello hello everyone and welcome back to  argentina we're back again we just got here like  

we just got to our apartment less than an hour  ago yeah yeah i ended up crawling right into bed  

he fell asleep already yeah he had to wake me  up for food junk him out of the bed i was like  

you know yeah when the mention of food like  a jack-in-the-box is like you know happy win  

but yeah it's a very very long flight my friends  oh yes yes from toronto to buenos aires now the  

flight is not straight anymore yeah it goes  through santiago yeah you gotta get off the  

plane in santiago by the time the plane lands you  get off lane you have to do security you have to  

board again you gotta wait for almost two hours  to board and then you take off and it adds like  

another three and a half to four hours to the to  the flight time so basically we left toronto at 9  

40 p.m and we landed in buenos aires at 1pm in  the afternoon the fall yeah oh it's beautiful  

going over the the andes mountain range i slept  through it did you see it yeah going from toronto  

to santiago it was packed entirely i don't think  there was one seat available but then going from  

santiago to buenos aires about half capacity  and i snuck right to the back of the plane  

i had a window view going over the andes and  perfect light it was amazing we're looking a  

little bit tired and sleepy right now but we are  very excited to be here we just need a little bit  

of food in our system and today we're going to  be eating at a restaurant called los orientales  

it's boligon style so that means an old-fashioned  restaurant with a really large portions perfect  

for sharing and this is a restaurant that was  recommended to us on our last trip to argentina  

but we just ran out of time to eat everywhere  oh wow now we're going we're actually we're  

walking distance away we're two blocks away so  it works out perfectly it's a place to go eat  

milanesa compa frittas and that's what my dad's  been thinking about since we got on the plane

if you come to argentina and you  don't eat milanesa from papa frittas  

doing something wrong something wrong with you  okay so that's gonna be our first meal uh tonight  

and i'm looking forward to it let's go

so

so

the wine's coming they said that one milanesa  is big enough for three people oh man but i'm  

doubting it and i we're gonna order two because  it's the only meal of the day so might as well  

don't take chances right someone's feeling hungry  i'm and the bread basket has arrived i'm gonna  

yeah we're holding off i'm gonna hold off  once you start eating bread in argentina  

with a little bit of butter on it you cannot stop  

the bread is amazing here you know but the problem  is that you eat so much bread and then you fill  

yourself up and then there is no room for the air  then the main arrives and you don't even eat it

hello the wine has arrived the wine is  here we went with one from bodegas lopez  

that we've tried before the chateaubria 2009  yeah it's a mix of cabernet sauvignon merlot

it's a beauty three grapes yeah we're already  tasting it and it's amazing wonderful the color  

is like a brownish you know from the uh oak barrel  it's got like a purpley brownish color i love it  

you know what else is here we got complimentary  empanadas we got two with ham and cheese one  

with beef and they are so good they are fully  loaded show the plate audrey pick it up for a  

second i already ate my piece but these are right  those are mine huh the cameraman gets them too  

cameraman has always lost so far a good start and  we have a giant millionaires on the way very good  

milanesa is coming yeah we have one with  a french fries and the other one with uh  

what is it a mashed potato pumpkin mashed potato  pumpkin mashed potato i got a good feeling about  

this you know yes we're tired it was a long flight  now we need something to bring our uh spirits up  

to bring us back to life down you know after that  flying you you feel down you know so now slowly  

we are coming back to life right and it's good  to be back in buenos aires argentina it's always  

good to be in buenos aires yeah beautiful  place yeah this is you will not regret it

wow spectacular

so guys the milanesas have arrived this is  look at this star of the restaurant basically  

this is the award-winning milanesa and it comes  fully loaded this is a bed of french fries yeah  

it has a russian potato salad on the front yeah  then we got the milanesa we got the chicken one  

my dad's having the one with veal there's ham  melted cheese tomato slices eggs a red pepper  

it's small it's so big it's falling use the  finger but i'm not gonna let it go to waste  

we need to start digging into this like let's  actually start what do you guys think of what  

do you guys think of the classic so far i always  say the portions in argentina and in uruguay  

are massive okay where else in the world you're  gonna have something like this in front of you  

okay look at that it's just it's just plain scary  we're going to war with this one this is a battle  

and we're gonna win it okay i guarantee you that  much you need to come very hungry or like with a  

group of friends six go big or go home get bigger  go home i mean the thing is that once you start  

eating you just cannot stop yeah they are so good  so tasty yeah is your typical uh schnitzel yeah or  

uh veal parmesan you know yeah here  we call the milanesa but honest to you  

it's all an experience huh it's a real experience  real experience and the french fries are fried in  

large yeah okay not in oil large they  have a taste that is out of this world  

so is it good before you come to argentina don't  forget to pack your pills for the cholesterol  

and blood pressure maybe  too i have my stock at home

guys we finished the monstrosity i think we're  gonna need either cpr or uh oxygen tank to be  

able to make it to the house yeah oh i can't  even think about walking four blocks right now  

i feel like i had three days worth of calories  in one meal it's not a meal it's a monstrosity  

when the guy told us that this this portion  was going to be enough for three people  

that were hungry we didn't believe him you  know we said kind of we didn't eat all day  

let's order an extra one yeah and because  we promised you that we were going to attack  

and polish it and demolish and win this  war because we went to war with these ones  

we had to do it we couldn't go  back right but let me tell you

how are you feeling i feel like i i gain again  an extra chin an extra if i had i've had a  

double chin when i came in here now i've got  a triple chin oh my god it was worth it i mean  

the food was fantastic the milaneses were  delicious it was nice to contrast actually  

between the suprema and the milanesa they're  quite different in taste both very classic  

dishes here in argentina and then have to give  a shout out to our friends at bodegas lopez  

who we we got to visit their their their bodega  rated in mendoza yeah females really like a few  

months ago and this is a really good really good  wine 2009 nice blend just overall a great meal and  

yeah it's yesterday time guys oh yeah it's time  we've got to walk back four blocks that's going  

to be a challenge the longest four blocks we've  ever walked oh my let me tell you that's true

they have these two they have one over me because  i cannot sleep the siesta you know so now i'm  

going to have to go to the apartment and suffer  while while they they sleep you know i'm going to  

have to digest like the boy slowly in the cabbage  oh my easy does it but it's spaghetti you know

okay

well guys we've been resting for a few  hours especially me i basically i came back  

and that uh you know sometimes i have a big  meal i call it it's like a knockout blow  

that was uh in the boxing terminology that  was a tko total knockout blow oh my i ended  

up falling asleep on the couch he just died i  i just couldn't i got good phones he collapsed  

i collapsed my body was just like  shutting down she was immediately death  

death by milanesa you know yeah that's not like  another great start that's the name of the movie

yeah milanesa one sam zero we we ate too much  we have to stop this because we cannot keep it  

up you know like today was a special uh event  the first day and stuff like that but we should  

have listened to the waiter the waiter told us he  said that's plenty for three people yeah we got  

an extra one three hungry people he said yeah and  we said how big could this be you know and my gosh  

it feels like it's still swimming  in there still it's still up here  

yes it's it's it's too much you know  it's a it's a stress at the bottom

so let's tell everyone about the price how much we  paid for that fee it ended up being 30 us dollars  

for the three of us and that included  complimentary bread complimentary empanadas  

which were incredible very thickly stuffed  yeah we had the giant milanesa platter the  

second milanese platter with a full bottle of  red wine from 2009 from one of our favorite  

bodegas bodegas lopez yeah a vintage a vintage  one yeah that's a nice 10 year old wine a really  

a real nice blend yeah and then on top of that  they gave us some complimentary coffees at the  

end of the meal yeah so it doesn't get better than  that ten dollars a piece in canada you're lucky to  

get a hamburger with a couple of french fries you  know maybe maybe it's a happy meal on special yeah

it was a it was a good deal yeah it really was  yeah now we will do a tour of the uh the house  

we're rented yeah we thought we'd give you  guys a little tour this is one of the more  

unique places we've stayed at in buenos aires  new neighborhood also we typically stay in in  

kind of high-rise apartments but this is our first  kind of house we're on the ground level of a house  

yeah and the most interesting feature is is the in  the beginning the doors you were saying it's like  

four knocks one two three four levels of security  and two more here and uh people is that the people  

oh no keys oh geez oh my good people oh that's  the people it is a safe neighborhood guys  

it is but it is it's also a strong deterrent  from uh from any thief and the nice uh thing  

about this place is that uh it's built like  the old fashioned you know like i mean in the  

early century there yeah and you find a lot of  houses like this in paris you know those old  

apartments in paris with this really the doors  they must be at least six 12 12 feet tall you  

know what do you think look at that one oh it's at  least 12. that that one's 12 feet tall one look at  

that one and the the ceilings maybe even maybe 18  20 feet 18 to 20 feet the ceiling is really high  

with chandeliers you know like i mean stuff that  they just don't build like that and they don't  

feel like that anymore anywhere yeah i i love  this type of old construction like this it's  

solid you know like i mean you see the real real  mccoy here yeah so this is the entry hallway right  

yeah the big doors we're going to go to this kind  of a family room yeah so we have a nice modern tv  

here and then the sofa where i fell asleep you had  your nap show where i have my now can you reenact  

for our subscribers what did it look like it  looked a lot like this no there was an arm  

dangling you were like sucking my thumb a bit  too just kidding i was singing the lullaby yeah  

oh my oh and the the chandeliers are nice here  too beautiful chandeliers two beautiful ones  

yeah and you can see how how uh how high it's  hanging yeah it gives you the sense of height  

here we also turn uh turn on the uh gas uh  heaters here we have a gas fired uh it's like a  

fireplace without the fireplace let's say you  know but it's gas uh gas fed so because it's  

cold now it's only five degrees uh centigrade  celsius yeah dining room oh look at that

it looks like a chair from the uh francisco  pizarro the conquistadors from spain you know  

you don't see a lot of stuff like that anymore i  think the most interesting thing about this place  

i i've never stayed anywhere hotel airbnb  guest health hostel pets that where we had pets  

well no we've had cats and dogs but we've never  had a fish yeah fish tank an aquarium aquarium  

and we are responsible for feeding them while  we're here where's the food once a day once  

a day we haven't had them all ready yeah it's  called tropical granules that's your color we  

already fed them so before we feed them again  in a way it's nice to have a little bit of  

life inside of a house where you don't live in  you know like you come and we left togo at home  

we miss him a lot so at least you know you have  a little bit of movement something you know right  

yeah exactly so it's interesting i think it's  it works you know yeah they're beautiful colors  

very colorful yes so now we go to the bedrooms  bedrooms so first uh our bedroom over here

built for giants yeah the other the other  interesting feature about these older homes  

is that yeah there's entrances various engines  yes they all open to the courtyard right  

so all the rooms do this opens right to the yeah  to the courtyard to the entrance which we'll  

show you in a moment and then this door opens  to your bedroom yeah there's another bedroom
