Just A Big Overpriced Chicken Sandwich

Just A Big Overpriced Chicken Sandwich

**THE FOOD FACTORY IS NOW CLOSED** After walking by this Palermo Hollywood restaurant numerous times and reading several positive reviews, I finally decided to see what all the hype was about and check out The Food Factory (Nicaragua 6055), celebrity chef Tomás Kalika’s posh restaurant located right next to the Live Hotel.

Almacén El Nono Amigo: Where Picada and Empanada Dreams Come True

Almacén El Nono Amigo: Where Picada and Empanada Dreams Come True

UPDATE: El Nono Amigo’s is now CLOSED but replaced with La Gran Tienda – a great spot for all your cheese, cured meats and sandwiches to-go. Cured meats, sharp cheeses, fresh bread, pickled vegetables – I must admit, I don’t give this Argentine delicacy the credit it deserves considering picadas are pretty damn awesome, and just might be […]

Can I Have Some Salad In My Ensalada? The Best Salads in Buenos Aires

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 – […]

The Pan at Pani

                    Welcome to the newest member of the Palermo Hollywood Nicaragua street café club. Pani (Nicaragua 6044) opened its doors in mid November 2010 and has made quite the impression on local clientele.    The outside of this large café can be deceiving – you may think […]

Meat on the Street: The Only Street Food in Buenos Aires

Posted on January 9, 2011 26 Comments

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 […]

Top It Frozen Yogurt: Dale muchas vueltas

TOP IT IS NOW CLOOOOSED The time has come, real frozen yogurt has hit Buenos Aires just in time for the summer. Not to give myself too much credit, but a few months ago I predicted that the Fro-Yo craze was due to hit Buenos Aires by 2011. Thanks to Top It (Gorriti 4721, Palermo […]

Olsen: The Original Buenos Aires Brunch

OLSEN IS CLOSED. Back in the day, in the mid 2000s, before the brunch craze invaded Buenos Aires, Olsen reigned on top for THE place to brunch. Cool, sleek, modern atmosphere, minimal decor, beautifully presented food, extremely accessible prices, trendy clientele and a one-of-a-kind menu.  Stir in dozens of write ups in the popular guide books, and a […]

Blast From the Past: Pizza Piola

The 90’s were a helluva decade – over sized flannel shirts, baby tees, overalls, Doc Martens, yak paks, Pauly Shore, tamagotchies… I could go on for days.  Luckily, I had a shot of nostalgia in Pizza Piola (Gorriti 5751, Palermo) and felt as if I was transported back in time. Back to the Bayside Tiger’s […]

A Nos Amours – Un Bistro Francés en Argentina

On a quiet corner in a non-touristy section of Palermo, you’ll find the cutest little French bistro you ever did see.  A Nos Amours (Gorriti 4488 Esq. Aráoz) has a comfortable and familiar atmosphere, attentive service and carefully selected menu and wine list.
