That’s what I did at Masticar’s mercado on November 9-12, where farmers and artisan purveyors show chefs, cooks, and food lovers the exciting edible diversity from around the country. These were some of the highlights: Click here for a full list of market stands. […]

The Restaurant Bible: Where to Eat in Montevideo, Uruguay

If Montevideo isn’t on your radar as a Latin American food destination, it totally should be. The laid-back tranquilo city is stepping out of BA’s shadow and undergoing their own mini food boom. While Uruguayans still share an inherent love for pasta and parrilla, many are beginning to open their minds to a new world of flavors. […]

Nikkei Is the Delicious Love Child of Peru and Japan

Maido is the delicious love child of Peru and Japan, and also Latin America’s new best restaurant in 2017. A few years ago I wrote about one of my favorite cuisines in the world, Peruvian Nikkei for Vice’s Munchies. Last night at Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants awards in Bogotá, Nikkei restaurant Maido in Lima took the […]

A Guide to the Argentine Asado

This article originally appeared in Lucky Peach Magazine.  If where there’s smoke there’s fire, then in Argentina, where there’s fire, there’s a dismembered cow slowly grilling over hot coals. Asado isn’t just a barbecue, or a cultural tradition, it’s a main source of national pride and worshipped high on a majestic meat pedestal alongside fútbol, Messi, […]

The Empanada Tour of Salta

What does one do when in Salta? I have two words for you… EMPANADAS SALTEÑAS. I had an ambitious plan for my day in Salta: an empanada walking tour across the city’s capital to eat at as many empanada shops as possible. Forget vacationing in Punta del Este, this year hit up Salta and go on a great empanada journey.

Inside Barrio Boliviano: A Food Tour of Mercado Andino de Liniers

Inside Barrio Boliviano: A Food Tour of Mercado Andino de Liniers

Move over Barrio Chino, because the Bolivian market in Liniers is where it’s at. On the first blocks of José León Suárez, between Ibarrola and Ramón L. Falcón, steps away from Rivadavia 11500 and the Liniers train station, a little piece of Bolivia emerges. With that latin street food smell and bustle, colorful Andean tubers, tropical fruits, exotic herbs, […]

Five Great Places to Eat in Mexico City

Five Great Places to Eat in Mexico City

La Ciudad de Mexico is one of the most food-centric cities I’ve ever visited. Everywhere you look, at any time of night or day, there’s a food stall, great restaurant, incredible market, fonda-in-the-wall, or killer street cart just waiting for you to stuff your hungry face with their delicious edibles. I keep having intense food flashbacks: tacos, elotes, tamales, […]

A Ceviche Party at La Mar

A Ceviche Party at La Mar

La Mar Buenos Aires was probably one of the most anticipated restaurant openings in 2015, and a year later, this Peruvian cebichería is still a hit. Many were skeptical that the seafood-centric spot wouldn’t be so hot in Argentina’s not-so-seafood friendly capital city, but Gastón Acurio and his crew have yet again managed to win over our hearts […]

Forking it on the Road in France: A Food Day in Lyon

Bouchon, Bocuse, baguettes, boulangerie, Beaujolais. Les Halles de Lyon, street markets, pork, wine, charcuterie, more pork, andouillette, Côtes du Rhône, the basilica of Notre Dame. And the cheeses – OH that French cheese. I took a trip to Lyon just for the food, and this is how I ate my day.

The Restaurant Bible: Where to Eat in Lima

There’s something incredibly special about Lima. The people, the history, the food, the flavors, the ingredients, the biodiversity. The restaurants, the street food, the markets, the cooks, the chefs, Mistura, Gastón. The ocean, the Andes, the Amazon, the Nikkei, the Chifa, the ceviche, the pisco. The spices, the sauces, the anticuchos, the potatoes, the chilcanos, the […]
