  • learned our lesson because we used to order the portion for two becoming

  • homeless stuff you can't eat that much meat

  • I could probably like I mean I could take care of this but it'd be a very the

  • rest of today would be very inactive yeah basically you basically need like

  • three hours yesterday all that yeah all that food and wine okay so you have

  • selected three different cuts of meat tell us so excited so over here we have

  • the side of the theatre which is basically the ribs but Cordero which is

  • the Patagonian lamb yeah forget the cut of this one what someone call the game
