**THIS SPOT IS NOW CLOSED*** For a typical Argie, a Sunday afternoon would never consist of eggs, bacon or bagels. Although brunch has made an appearance to the Buenos Aires food scene in recent years, the weekend asado will never go out of style. So, feeling the porteño spirit, I headed over to Humbolt and […]
Barrio Chino, Buenos Aires: A Culinary Mecca
Despite the fact that Barrio Chino, or China Town, takes up only 2 blocks in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, it still remains a favorite destination in the city. It’s basically my version of Disney World, where you can find anything from tofu to hot chili peppers to lemongrass to sriracha to many more delectable (and not […]
Can I Have Some Salad In My Ensalada? The Best Salads in Buenos Aires
I bet you have never heard anyone say, “I went to Argentina and had the best salad ever!” Why? Simple. Overall the salads are sucky, consisting of wilted greens and boring unripe vegetables, either not dressed at all or drenched in some weird mayonnaise-based “dressing” sauce. When ordering a salad, many will respond in ridicule – […]
Patagonia in Buenos Aires: The Other El Federal
I’m always in search for a certain type of restaurant that falls into a unique category: Argentine food but not parrilla, milanesa or empanadas. It’s tough to find that restaurant that is still considered Argentine, but served in a non-traditional way, with inventive combinations presented in a thoughtful fashion – and of course, all at a moderate price. El Federal (San […]

Product of the Day: Twistos Crackers Aireadas

These highly addictive crackers, that recently hit selected kioscos and grocery stores, come in two flavors – con hierbas (with herbs) and tomate y albahaca (tomato and basil). Try dipping the con hierbas into […]
Meat on the Street: The Only Street Food in Buenos Aires
What could be better than a big, fat, juicy, well done chorizo drenched in chimichurri and salsa criolla? One eaten at 6:30 in the morning off of a skanky, health violating food cart. Unlike Latin American countries like Mexico or Brazil, Argentina does not have a booming street food culture. Sure you can get facturas […]

A Festivus for the Rest of Us: How to Celebrate the Seinfeld Holiday
My first writing gig was in 1995 as a featured contributor to a Geocities Seinfeld fan club’s newsletter. I was 10 years old. The rest of the writing staff was well over 25. I quickly escalated to editor status, in charge of the Trivia and Contest sections, creating weekly games, quizzes, and contests for devoted […]
First Days in the USA
“What do you miss about the USA?” is on the top 5 list of questions that many expats are asked when being quizzed about their reasons for living abroad. As a shallow, culinary obsessed, mid-twenty something, my answer will always remain something superficial. These days with the glories of social media and the wonders of […]
