Episode One: The Hidden Kitchens of Buenos Aires

In Episode One of After Dark, we send Sydney chef Elvis Abrahanowicz—of Bodega and Porteño—to his hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he investigates the city's burgeoning scene of discreet kitchens. Elvis visits everyday Argentinians in their backyards, living rooms, and on their rooftops, where they set up shop and serve local food and booze to diners and drinkers. Like a dinner party but... every night. Very tranquilo.



Episode Two: The Underground Dance Scene of Buenos Aires

In Episode Two of After Dark, Elvis Abrahanowicz—chef and co-founder of Sydney's Bodega 1904 and Porteño—meets the people of the Buenos Aires club scenes. He takes a nightlife tour with the F.L.O.W Altas Wachas dancers and their musician friends, who are experimenting with cumbia—a dance genre that's been popularised throughout Latin America—by mashing up traditional styles with electronic beats. He also learns to do something which can't actually be called twerking.
