Becca,

A couple questions?

Speaking of doneness, are the gaucho chefs adept at cutting a serving from
the middle of the sword? I guessed they just serve the lowest on the sword
portion.

Looking over the menu, they show 15 different sworded meats. I watched the
various named meats they serve. Is there a shortcut to get what you want
quickly? I know barking out loud is out of the question. Something like
putting a playing card with a meat's picture or name on it next to the
disk?

Thanks again!

Best,

Andy
