I’ve kept this place a secret for too long, it’s time to share the food love. So here it goes… One of my favorite finds of the year… A place where I’ve regained my hope in a Buenos Aires Jewish deli existence. A spot where I’ve gorged on a hot pastrami sandwich. Gone to town […]
Buenos Aires Bagels: If you can’t find them, make them.
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 […]

After 4 years of Argentine-styled Thanksgivings, it was time to celebrate authentic American food traditions, feasting until you can feast […]

One of the many food related recipe blogs I read, What the fuck should I make for dinner, has inspired me to follow in the good fun and include my recipes of what I’ve been fucking making for dinner. 1. Barbecue chicken fucking salad 2. Empa-fucking-nadas salteñas 3. Fucking rigatoni in a garlic white wine […]
Medialuna Fridays at Alimentari
What’s better than reaching a Friday knowing the weekend is about to start? Medialuna Fridays! While I’m not a factura kinda girl, Alimentari (locations in the microcentro) makes a damn good medialuna. Some say (and by some I mean me) it’s the best in BA. Fresh, crusty, sweet and sticky on the outside, warm soft […]
