Despite the fact that Barrio Chino, or China Town, takes up only 2 blocks in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, it still remains a favorite destination in the city. It’s basically my version of Disney World, where you can find anything from tofu to hot chili peppers to lemongrass to sriracha to many more delectable (and not […]
Can I Have Some Salad In My Ensalada? The Best Salads in Buenos Aires
I bet you have never heard anyone say, “I went to Argentina and had the best salad ever!” Why? Simple. Overall the salads are sucky, consisting of wilted greens and boring unripe vegetables, either not dressed at all or drenched in some weird mayonnaise-based “dressing” sauce. When ordering a salad, many will respond in ridicule – […]
Meat on the Street: The Only Street Food in Buenos Aires
What could be better than a big, fat, juicy, well done chorizo drenched in chimichurri and salsa criolla? One eaten at 6:30 in the morning off of a skanky, health violating food cart. Unlike Latin American countries like Mexico or Brazil, Argentina does not have a booming street food culture. Sure you can get facturas […]
First Days in the USA
“What do you miss about the USA?” is on the top 5 list of questions that many expats are asked when being quizzed about their reasons for living abroad. As a shallow, culinary obsessed, mid-twenty something, my answer will always remain something superficial. These days with the glories of social media and the wonders of […]
Happy Thanksgiving, American Style
It’s no coincidence that I chose to visit my family in the US over Thanksgiving, the only major holiday where eating takes center stage, giving thanks for being a bunch of total greedy foodface stuffing fatties. After 4 years of Argentine-styled Thanksgivings, it was time to celebrate authentic American food traditions, feasting until you can feast […]
Food Hoppin’ in Rosario, eh!!!…
Many travelers visiting a new place for a short period of time feel the overwhelming necessity to follow a Nazi-like schedule, ticking off all of the major (and minor) tourist attractions from an uninformed guidebook. Personally, I prefer to engage in my favorite traveling (and non-traveling) pastime: Restaurant Hopping.
Delhi Darbar, more than just curry powder
*** DELHI DARBAR IS NOW CLOSED *** In Buenos Aires, Indian food suffers from two major ailments: authenticity and spice. With only a handful of restaurant options in the city, it can be quite difficult fulfilling that intense Indian food craving. Many locals inaccurately refer to this exotic food as comida hindú, categorizing the cuisine […]
Chinese Food Hong Kong Style
Barrio Chino has tons of restaurants to choose from. Some good, some bad, some with chicken feet displayed in the window, and others with empanadas and milanesas on the menu. Hong Kong Style offers a huge variety of the greasy Chinese food persuasion that I hold so dear to my heart. The menu includes pages and […]
The Best Pizza in Buenos Aires: Siamo Nel Forno
Surprising to many locals who have a life-long devoted loyalty to their favorite dish, Argentina is known by many to serve some pretty awful pizza. Some have even go far to say that it’s one of the worst pizza in the world. Oh, but how can you go wrong with dough + cheese + grease, might […]
