Frank Almeida
Founder of AsadoAdventure and a Chicago transplant, Frank has called Buenos Aires home since 1999. He started his first food business during Argentina's 2002 financial crisis, building it into one of the country’s most beloved cookie brands. Today, he brings that same entrepreneurial spirit to AsadoAdventure—offering authentic food tours and unforgettable asado experiences that blend great flavors with local history, art, and street culture.


Max Carnage
I created a restaurant called Ribs Al Rio. Before that, I worked at Strange Brewing, one of Argentina's trendiest microbreweries, where I was in charge of the kitchen.
​
I love to grill meat, it's part of every Argentine's DNA, and I have been grilling for AsadoAdventure since 2016.
​
The asado is a language of friendship, of family, and camaraderie; it’s a perfect excuse to meet up with those closest to you, to meet new friends, share some wine and forget for a moment the stress and problems of everyday life.
Agustin Perez
I was born in Buenos Aires and lived here all my life. I’ve been a foodie for as long as I can remember, but I work teaching English, math, and biology. I like to cook, and I received the asado tradition from my dad when I was 10 and have been doing it ever since.
​
I have traveled to many places in Europe, South America, and the Middle East and met all kinds of people. I also enjoy paragliding and have been on a road trip across Patagonia, visiting the best flying spots.
​
In 2016 I became a food tour guide, which opened the door to meeting even more people and cultures while eating great food. Walking the BA streets between bites and talking about history and culture is one of my favorite things to do.


Natalia Carabelli
I’m a proud porteña, born and raised just outside Buenos Aires, and I love sharing my city's vibrant culture and incredible food with visitors. Before joining Asado Adventure, I spent years organizing professional tennis tournaments, but now my passion lies in guiding guests through Palermo’s lively streets and flavors.
From smoky asado to sweet facturas, introducing people to Argentina’s culinary traditions is a joy. When I’m not leading food tours, I’m off exploring—from the breathtaking Iguazú Falls to the wild landscapes of Patagonia. Join me on an unforgettable food adventure through Buenos Aires!
Sacha Kohn
I've been a chef for over fifteen years and love grilling. During my career, I have made asados alongside great chefs such as Francis Mallmann, Pablo Massey, and Narda Lepes. I was also head chef at Happening Costanera, one of the most renowned parrillas in Buenos Aires.
​
I love the asado ceremony. One doesn't grill for oneself; the asado always includes gathering with people you care for. Starting the fire, grilling the meat, and the long chats, are all part of the ceremony.
​
The Asado Experience has allowed me to share it with people from all over the world.


Fernando Farias
I'm a journalist at Argentina's Public National Radio, where I host an English-language show. Together with an American friend, I had a bilingual podcast for ex-pats called BA Cast that made some noise back in the day.
I'm a proud Porteño who's in love with all things Buenos Aires: its people, streets, architecture, food, history... even its chaos. Born and raised in BA, I've lived here all my life, except for a few gap years in Italy, Spain, and the UK.
