Want to venture on a food discovery across Argentina without even leaving Palermo? That’s what I did at Masticar’s mercado on November 9-12, where farmers and artisan purveyors show chefs, cooks, and food lovers the exciting edible diversity from around the country. These were some of the highlights: Click here for a full list of market stands. […]
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. Back in 2013, I wrote a guide to the best Buenos Aires restaurants for cheap (and broke) bastards. But with […]
How a Vegetarian Survived in Meaty Buenos Aires
When I moved to Buenos Aires 10 years ago to study abroad, I was on a 13-year meat-free eating streak. I had heard that leading a vegetarian lifestyle in such a carnivorous country could be difficult, but I was determined to stick to my diet (and still find delicious sustenance). I did it—with the help […]

In its eleventh year, chefs and bartenders from Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, and Chile came to participate in a three-day event of cooking […]
Al Árabe: Your New Favorite Shawarma Spot
You know when you find that special shawarma and you can’t get it off your mind? You might have seen him around the barrio a few times, walked by without really giving him a second thought, but after your first up close and personal encounter, BAM! You’re smitten. Cartoon heart bubbles start popping and the Saved By […]
The Empanada Quest: La Carbonera
I first tried La Carbonera one lazy Netflix/PedidosYa delivery night last year. I was on the hunt for a great milanesa, and La Carbonera caught my eye. Instead of regular french fries, they offered patacones (fried green plantains), and the menu had a mixture of standard parrilla fare, milanesas, plus the random Venezuelan delicacy thrown in the mix. […]
UGI’S: The Argentine Pizzeria That Hates Itself
Originally published on MUNCHIES. Argentina’s worst pizzeria has certainly made a name for itself on the Internet. To demonstrate the online popularity of Ugi’s, Argentina’s budget pizzeria, I went down a deep dark Facebook rabbit hole to sort through years of degrading posts and comments, to investigate the offensive, insulting and degrading social media strategy—all to […]
Argentine Food Glossary: The Most Popular Foods in Buenos Aires
If you’ve ever ventured into unknown Porteño food waters and stepped inside a random Buenos Aires bodegón-parrilla-restaurant-resto-bar-restobar-café-cybercafé-etc., you probably had some trouble deciphering the menu. It most likely resembled an encyclopedia, except with scratched off prices and grease stained paper tucked inside plastic binder sleeves, serving anything (and everything) from pizza to pasta to sweetbreads to steak. Don’t you […]
