A Total Sausage Fest: El Rey del Chori – The Chorizo King of San Telmo

A Total Sausage Fest: El Rey del Chori – The Chorizo King of San Telmo

Follow the smoke signals and the barbecue parrilla smells to escape the Sunday San Telmo Market bustle and enter into a parking garage turned sausage wonderland. Chorizos, bondiolas, beer, wine and live music — you’ve never quite seen an Argentine chorizo fiesta quite like this one.

Smooooooooothway: It Does A Body Good

**SMOOTHWAY IS SHUTTERED** Say goodbye to those fake-healthy Buenos Aires cafés who pack their so-called licuados with sugar and wraps with sad, sorry produce. Smooothway, a new addition to the Palermo Hollywoood café club, has graced the neighborhoood with its fresh organic presence, forming a sort of hybrid healthy fast foood joint that caters to those who want […]

Two guys, a girl and some beer: BRÖEDERS Beer Night at NOLA

Two guys, a girl and some beer: BRÖEDERS Beer Night at NOLA

Pulled pork sandwiches, Southern-style fried chicken, honey mustard sauce, coleslaw, potato salad, home brewed artisan beer, IPA, Golden Ale, Porter, Scottish Ale, if a few years ago someone was to tell me I’d be able to find this food in Buenos Aires, I would call insanity. But times are-a-changing, the porteño gastronomical scene is growing, improving, modernizing […]

The Best Buenos Aires Restaurants If You’re Cheap, Broke, Or Like A Good Deal

The Best Buenos Aires Restaurants If You’re Cheap, Broke, Or Like A Good Deal

Sometimes I get attacked by a dark hole of self-induced extranjero depression, where just whipping out an old BA guidebook, glancing at an outdated travel article, or deciphering a price crossed out pizzería menu gives me the uncontrollable urge to play the Inflations-A-Bitch pity party game. With restaurant costs catapulting skyward, inflation at a ridiculous high, it’s […]

The Great San Telmo Coffee Hut: Coffee Town

The San Telmo market just got A LOT bit better. Coffee snobs, coffee lovers and coffee addicts can now flock to the infamous mercado for a quick shot of this liquid gold. A small coffee hut nestled in between a vegetable stand and a hoarder’s antiqued-out dream, Coffee Town, the new love hijo of the Centro de Estudios […]

La Cresta: Winning Over Almagro

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. La Cresta might be one of the biggest gangstas in the para llevar gang, specializing in juicy, crispy rotisserie chicken, inventive salads and flavor filled wraps.

The Buenos Aires Market

The Buenos Aires Market

There’s really nothing better on a sunny, springtime Buenos Aires day than trucking over to the Bosques de Palermo (en bici, of course), to dodge the slow walking-mate drinking pedestrians, collide with erratic bike riding children, and watch pre-teens on roller skates eat shit hard on the pavement. You might think it wasn’t possible for the Bosques to get any busier […]

Sudestada, High Winds with a Great Lunch Special

Sudestada, High Winds with a Great Lunch Special

Back in the good ole BA days, when the colectivo cost 80 centavos, Sudestada offered one of the best lunch specials in Palermo.  Fast forward a few years, add a 70% price increase and an inflations-a-bitch tax, and this Southeast Asian inspired restaurant still remains a long standing Buenos Aires lunch special favorite.

Wrapping N Rolling with Fitz Roll

Palermo Hollywood lunch crew, here’s a quick lil’ gem for a midday munch. Fast food done differently, this hole-in-the-wall nestled snuggly on Fitz Roy, rolls out fatty wraps filled with your own choice of produce-protein prime packed goodness.

A Latino Sandwich

A Latino Sandwich

There comes that moment in time when you stumble upon a special sandwich gem.  A sandwich that puts your stupid old miga-milanesa-milanga to shame. In my fake Buenos Aires life, I’d open up a kiosco-sized shop, serving killer sandwiches and salads, at a price accessible to most. Thankfully Latino Sandwich has done just that, helping to reinvent […]
