This Is Why You’re Fat: August Edition

Quests for bloody Marys, a gastro-trip to the Ukraine, new closed-door restaurants, sandwiches and brunches galore, here are some food highlights (and low lights) of August eats. Oh, and a big RIP to my camera. It’s broken (probably caused by too much food inside the lens), which means I must take a food porn hiatus. […]

Smeterling: Recoleta’s Sweetest Gem

The Buenos Aires sweets scene just doesn’t really do it for me. Always a bit dry and heavy-handed on the dulce de leche, it’s never been too hard to pass on postre and just say no… Until I visited Smeterling, a modern boutique bakery wonderland, created by and for lovers of the art of pastry. One of the […]

Mongolian BBQ: Choose Your Own Genghis Khan Stir Fry Adventure

***”Mongolian BBQ Chile Caliente” was formerly known as Gengis’s House. First, they had a Recoleta, then moved downtown to Alem. Today, they are in Palermo Soho.  NEW PALERMO LOCATION –> El Salvador 5090, Palermo Soho Mongolian BBQ is one hell of a concept. It certainly didn’t originate from Mongolia, and it’s not exactly traditional barbecue, but it’s positively delightful to eat: a big […]

Villa Crespo: The New Gastronomical Mecca of Buenos Aires

It’s safe to say that Villa Crespo is no longer an up-and-coming neighborhood; it’s already the hotness and has been for some time.  These grand gastronomical happenings are leading Villa Crespo into the food heavens, sprinkling it with that extra sparkle, and making it a hot destination for traditionalists and trendsetters alike. It’s the Palermo Viejo […]

Making Naan At Home: Homemade Naan Bread Recipe

I’m not the type of person who likes to bake.  I’m not able to make things perfectly shaped. I find it annoying to measure out exact amounts, keep track of baking times, wait for foods to rise, to rest, to cool. Then, comes the clean up, or not cleaning it up, and having to suffer […]

The Chinese Food Counter: Asia Oriental Supermarket in Barrio Chino

ASIA ORIENTALS BAR HAS CLOSED! BACK UP: MIAN near the tracks, Mendoza 1725 for dumplings + peanut noodles. Oh, how I love you Asia Oriental food counter. With your pungent fishy odors, uncomfortable bar stools, over-crowded narrow eating space and disorganized inattentive service, you always put that cherry on top of my already rewarding Buenos Aires Barrio Chino […]

Put on your sandwich gloves, it’s time to eat some sandwiches

Where do you go in Buenos Aires to sink your teeth into that perfect sandwich? With almost every café and restaurant serving up some sanguche of sorts, only few really do it right. The ideal sandwich needs to have at least three important components to survive in the elite world of killer sandwiches:
