Meet Richard & Andrea
Bariloche y San Martin de los Andes, Argentina | Volcan Lanin
Every unforgettable gathering begins with a simple idea: Bring people together. For us, that philosophy has always been at the center of everything we do.
Long before Ultimate Asado Experience was created, we spent more than fifteen years documenting weddings and private celebrations. We witnessed firsthand that the moments guests remember most rarely happen because of extravagant décor or elaborate menus—they happen around shared tables, meaningful conversations, and genuine hospitality.
When we traveled throughout Argentina, we discovered that the asado embodies those very same values. It isn't simply a way of cooking. It's a way of welcoming people. That realization became the foundation of Ultimate Asado Experience.
Andrea grew up in Argentina where the tradition of the asado is woven into everyday life. Weekends weren't centered around restaurants. They were spent outdoors with family, gathered around the fire while conversations stretched long after the meal had ended. That warmth, generosity, and sense of connection continue to inspire every experience we create today.
Authentic Street Asado by Don Bernard | Posadas Misiones, Argentina
Richard grew up in a Cuban family where food was the language of love. His earliest memories are of watching his mother prepare meals that brought everyone to the table.
Years later, that passion led him to study live-fire cooking under his brother-in-law David and Argentine asador Don Bernard, whose decades of experience deepened his appreciation for the craftsmanship and patience behind an authentic Asado.
Today, Richard combines those influences to create an experience that honors Argentine tradition while reflecting his own culinary journey.
Fifteen Years of Creating Experiences
For more than fifteen years we've been entrusted with documenting some of life's most meaningful celebrations. That experience taught us something invaluable: Exceptional events are never remembered for just one detail. They're remembered for how they made people feel.
That philosophy influences everything we do—from the way guests are welcomed, to the pacing of the evening, to the final course shared around the fire. Our goal has never been simply to prepare dinner. Our goal is to create an evening your guests will remember for years to come.
Richard and Andrea continue to personally lead every Ultimate Asado Experience.
From planning the menu to lighting the first fire and welcoming every guest, they believe the smallest details create the most memorable evenings.
