Put on your sandwich gloves, it’s time to eat some sandwiches

Where do you go in Buenos Aires to sink your teeth into that perfect sandwich? With almost every café and restaurant serving up some sanguche of sorts, only few really do it right. The ideal sandwich needs to have at least three important components to survive in the elite world of killer sandwiches:

Arévalo’s New Local Hot Spots: Local Restó & Casa Arévalo

UPDATE: LOCAL is now closed.  Living in Palermo Hollywood, it seems like there are multiple restaurants popping up on a monthly basis. Although I find most of them a massive disappointment, there was one in particular that I happily and anxiously awaited the grand opening. The master chef couple Estefanía Di Benedetto and Matías Kyriazis, the […]

Magdalena’s Getting POKE’D Hard: POKE Restaurant’s Weekly Pop Up

**SADLY POKE IS NOT LONGER AROUND IN BUENOS AIRES** It was a sad day in the life of many spice fiend Palermo-ers when POKE delivery retired their bicycle and ended their delivery-only service. A single tear dropped on that perfectly cupped iceberg lettuce wrap as I said a sad goodbye to POKE, one of (if not […]

Minestrone Soup: The Soup That Keeps On Giving

Hearty, cheap, healthy and filling, that’s why Minestrone is always my go-to soup when the weather gets cold. Super easy to make, it’s like the soup that keeps on giving: if you are running out of soupy liquid, just add more chicken stock and tomato puré, if you need more hearty goodness, chop up more […]

Salted Dulce de Leche Brownie Recipe

Sometimes I like to Sandra Lee my way around a recipe, semi-shamefully taking unMarthalike shortcuts when it comes to baking. While self-righteous cooks may get a major bitch face caradeculo at the blasphemous thought of using boxed brownie mix, here’s a way to pimp out pre-packaged brownies and play it off like it’s 100% homemade. The […]

The Scrambled Egg Breakfast Empanada

They have the breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich, what about the breakfast empanada? Fill it with whatever tickles your breakfast fancy, here is just another way to reinvent the Argentine empanada favorite. Argie-fying my Yanqui food ways, that’s what I call a cultural exchange.

La Barata del Central: Where Fruits and Vegetables Are Happy

Horrah! At last! A cheap way to stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables without romper-ing my orto.  With soaring food costs in Buenos Aires, it’s extremely rare to find a verdulería that uses high quality ingredients while charging affordable prices. La Barata del Central is my new obsession, delivering a massive box filled with happy (and […]
