Decades prior to BA’s craft beer and burger boom and before Asian-style hipster bars became a thing, Don Carlos stood on the iconic corner of Brandsen and del Valle Iberlucea, across from La Bombonera fútbol stadium, and served traditional Porteño comfort foods. From the simple decor, Don Carlos might appear to be just like any other barrio bodegón. But look closer, […]

Eat, Drink, and Eat Some More: The Restaurant Rundown of 2017
If you asked me to describe the 2017 BA food scene in a few words my answer would be simple: beer bars, burger bars, craft beers eating burgers, and burger bars drinking craft beers.

The Restaurant Bible: Where to Eat in Montevideo, Uruguay
If Montevideo isn’t on your radar as a Latin American food destination, it totally should be. The laid-back tranquilo city is stepping out of BA’s shadow and undergoing their own mini food boom. While Uruguayans still share an inherent love for pasta and parrilla, many are beginning to open their minds to a new world of flavors. […]
Nikkei Is the Delicious Love Child of Peru and Japan
Maido is the delicious love child of Peru and Japan, and also Latin America’s new best restaurant in 2017. A few years ago I wrote about one of my favorite cuisines in the world, Peruvian Nikkei for Vice’s Munchies. Last night at Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants awards in Bogotá, Nikkei restaurant Maido in Lima took the […]
Budget Buenos Aires: Where to Eat Cheap in BA
Buenos Aires is no longer the budget destination of $5 dollar steak dinners. Dining out isn’t cheap, but you don’t need to drop all of your Julio Rocas to eat well because great deals do exist.
