BA has gone bagel CRAZY. Everywhere you look, bread with holes are popping up all over the place. Besides the decent ones at Malvón, La Crespo and Quiero Bagel, a really good, inexpensive bagel just doesn’t exist. So to fulfill my jewy craving, I spent a whopping $10 pesos on ingredients, and whipped up a batch […]
The Multifaceted Empanada: Baked Samosas & Dal
Among my many food related hobbies, reading food blogs, looking up recipes, watching Top Chef, watching other cooking shows and memorizing menus, is finding new spins on Argentine favorites. On an empanada wrapper binge, I thought to myself – what fun goodies can I stuff inside? With a craving for some intense spices, it was […]
All Hype at Cluny
**CLUNY IS NOW CLOSED** When I first stepped foot in Argentina, Cluny was the HOTNESS. All the rave. The cool place to weekend Palermo-it-up. But, at a whopping minimum 30 pesos per person, my cheap Study Abroad ass opted to go down the street to the then LAID back (ahem) Mark’s Deli for a delicious […]
Asado at the Estancia
Every few months it’s important to get a vacation from Buenos Aires, if only for just the day, and venture off to distant lands like Zona Norte, Tigre or somewhere in the campo. Spending a day at an estancia (Argentine ranch) is common on the tourist-trap track, and after many years living in this country […]
Potato Leek Soup
The only good things about the cold season are soups and boots. I could eat soup all day every day, and I just might. With the lack of soup in Argentina, (beefy, heavy stews don’t count and neither do those nasty powdered packets) it’s time to bust out the food processor or immersion blenders and […]
Just A Big Overpriced Chicken Sandwich
**THE FOOD FACTORY IS NOW CLOSED** After walking by this Palermo Hollywood restaurant numerous times and reading several positive reviews, I finally decided to see what all the hype was about and check out The Food Factory (Nicaragua 6055), celebrity chef Tomás Kalika’s posh restaurant located right next to the Live Hotel.
Passport to Yanquiland: The Office Bar & Grill
Ordering a burger in Argentina can definitely be risky. The grand beef myth that all meat reigns supreme halts at the traditional parrilla, with restaurants serving so called ‘burgers’ (processed Barfy or Paty brands) instead of good ole’ ground chuck. In my quest to find a delicious burger I came across many Debbie Downers, “Don’t […]
El Asado Más Grande Del Mundo
Yet another thing for Argentines to boast about, the town of General Pico in La Pampa has just won the Guinness World Record for the largest asado in the world! With over 45 pairs of asadores (those who MAN the grill) and 13,713 kilos of meat, Argentina proudly took over Uruguay’s title set in 2008. The […]
Focaccia with Tomatoes, Onions & Fresh Herbs
The New Hot Closed-Door In Town: Casa Mun
CASA MUN HAS CLOSED IN BUENOS AIRES AND REOPENED IN CASARENA IN MENDOZA I first heard about the opening of Casa Mun back in November and instantly put myself on the mailing list. I’m not quite sure why, perhaps call it a sixth food sense, but I had an inkling that this place would be special. […]
