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 […]

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by a dark hole of self-induced extranjero depression, where just whipping out an old BA guidebook, glancing at an outdated travel article, or deciphering a price crossed out pizzería menu gives me the uncontrollable urge to play the Inflations-A-Bitch pity party game.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 […]

Sushi Delivery: Kokoro Sushi

Kokoro sushi has what it takes to be a great go-to sushi delivery spot: super fresh fish, inventive rolls, high quality products, rice properly cooked, tasty sauce accompaniments, expert color-coated packaging, and a full menu that’s not insanely priced. A new school of Japanese-Peruvian sushi fusion to your door, sashimi, niguiri, tiraditos and rolls make […]

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 […]

Horneando Up A Storm At Baking BA

There’s a new breed of healthy fast food options sweeping the city. Tiny shops selling a wide range of tasty treats that will put any traditional kiosco sorry ass sandwich to shame. Exemplifying this new concept, Baking BA in the microcentro is all about the food: simple, natural and rico. Reinventing lunch on the go, […]

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:

Magdalena’s Getting POKE’D Hard: POKE Restaurant’s Weekly Pop Up

**SADLY POKE IS NOT LONGER AROUND IN BUENOS AIRES** It was a sad day in the life of many spice fiend Palermo-ers when POKE delivery retired their bicycle and ended their delivery-only service. A single tear dropped on that perfectly cupped iceberg lettuce wrap as I said a sad goodbye to POKE, one of (if not […]

La Barata del Central: Where Fruits and Vegetables Are Happy

Horrah! At last! A cheap way to stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables without romper-ing my orto.  With soaring food costs in Buenos Aires, it’s extremely rare to find a verdulería that uses high quality ingredients while charging affordable prices. La Barata del Central is my new obsession, delivering a massive box filled with happy (and […]

The Argentine Food Diaries: A Porteño Eating Challenge

THE CHALLENGE:  TO EAT LIKE AN ARGENTINE, one day of consuming the most typical fare. A rundown of the most popular Argentine foods including breakfast, lunch, merienda, dinner and dessert. I asked some die-hard Argie culinary traditionalists what they ate on a daily basis, and these were the results… Disclaimer: It’s important to clarify that this is a massive generalization […]

The Great: MARFA Delivery

The day I discovered Marfa marked a great day in my Buenos Aires history.  June 2010: The Rio de la Plata parted and Moses appeared holding a broccoli and red pepper veggie burger.  This delivery food service, open for lunch and dinner, makes a killing offering a healthy-ish menu of bomb salads, sandwiches, veggie burgers, wraps, […]
