An intimate dinner in Francis Mallmann’s La Boca living room


Recently seen in Chef’s Table, legendary Argentine chef Francis Mallmann, who’s fronted dozens of TV shows, opens his ornate home.

A market-to-table approach might feature smoked king crab with humita, grilled sole or perfectly seared rump steak.
