Francis Mallmann, whose 1884 Restaurante put Mendoza on Argentina's culinary map in the mid-90s, has partnered with The Vines Resort & Spa to open Siete Fuegos, where all the theatrics of cooking with fire are readily on display. Here Mallmann's able disciples practice seven distinct techniques of open-flame cooking, and diners are invited to watch. While aficionados will be familiar with the parrilla and the clay oven, few will have witnessed vegetables baked "al rescoldo" (inside a mound of smoldering embers) or salmon roasted "al infiernillo" (on a shelf between two open log fires). Few will have seen an entire quadruped roasted ceremoniously "al asador" (on an iron stake)—a time and labor-intensive undertaking usually reserved for weekend gatherings. Fortunately, in the relative wilderness of the Uco Valley, there is both plenty of time and plenty of wide-open space for leisurely Sunday asados.
