"The classic begginer's mistake in Argentina is to neglect the first
steak of the day. You will be tempted to just peck at it or even skip
it altogether, rationalizing that you need to save yourself for the
much larger steak later that night. But this is a false economy, like
refusing to drink water in the early parts of a marathon. That first
steak has to get you through the afternoon and half the night, until
the restaurants begin to open at ten; the first steak is what primes
your system to digest large quantities of animal protein, and it's the
first steak that buffers the sudden sugar rush of your afternoon ice
cream cone. The midnight second steak might be more the glamorous one,
standing as it does a good three inches off the plate, but all it has
to do is get you up and out of the restaurant and into bed (for the
love of God, don't forget to drink water)."
