This Is Why You’re Fat: Spring Edition

Summer is finally here, and even though the world didn’t end, I’m still eating like there’s no tomorrow.  Spring was filled with food fairs, chef stalking, bar hoppings, educational cocktail courses, urban gardens, computers breaking, hamburger discoveries and lots of Toddy cookies.

La Cresta: Winning Over Almagro

A new food trend is storming across Buenos Aires: a modernized version of fast food to-go, offering an unorthodox porteño menu of ethnic-influenced healthy-ish grub.

The Buenos Aires Vegetarian Dilemma: What to eat in Argentina?

As a former vegetarian for many years, once I moved to Buenos Aires I quickly put a halt to my plant-eating ways and succumbed to the carnivorous lure of the beef.  For those strong-willed who have yet to cross over to the dark side, make sure to not fall victim of the endless cheese and […]
