A Serious Eater's Guide to Buenos Aires and Beyond

Sipan Fusing Things Up The Peru-ponesa Way

Posted on July 22, 2013 14 Comments

Sipan Fusing Things Up The Peru-ponesa Way

Down the road from the touristic Plaza Serrano turnabout, SIPAN has taken over the bottom level of the Palermitano Hotel, whipping up Peruvian-Japanese fusion delectables. Upscale Peruvian seemed a bit oxymoronic to me. Dropping a hefty centavo on a plate of fancy ceviche just isn’t right when you can get a version just as delicious for half the price at […]

The Best Unsmokeable Joint in Palermo

The Best Unsmokeable Joint in Palermo

In a country praised for the prime meat, it’s always baffling how so many of us are on an endless quest for a decent burger. Ground beef mix, quick high flame sear, toasted sesame bun, toppings, sauce and burger me delicious. But sadly BA has been stuck in a world of dry, flat, overcooked, unseasoned mooburgesas that […]

Catalunya in Buenos Aires: El Casal

Catalunya in Buenos Aires: El Casal

A whole roasted suckling pig, tapas, massive platters of paella and screaming Argie-Spanish families; sounds like my idea of a fun-filled Sunday afternoon lunch. If you are into experiencing the authentic Spanish cultural center experience, it doesn’t get much more traditional than this original gangsta Spanish club tapas restaurant.

The Delicious C Word at Sugar and Spice

The Delicious C Word at Sugar and Spice

If you walk around Palermo Hollywood, your dog-like senses may lead you towards a wondrous scent of glorious, fresh and homey baked goods. No, this isn’t a factura-filled bakery or a medialuna-café haven, it’s a cookie factory hidden on Guatemala street that sells some of this country’s best baked up goodness like cookies, biscotti, brownies, bagels, budines, […]

One Table with Hernán Gipponi

One Table with Hernán Gipponi

**Hernán Gipponi is no longer hosting One Table at the Fierro Hotel.** Maybe I’m spoiled, hard to please, or just turning into one of those irritating food snobs, but rarely do I encounter a truly memorable restaurant dining experience. I’m talking about the big L, the big O, fireworks, a big brass band mind parade, […]

A Total Sausage Fest: El Rey del Chori – The Chorizo King of San Telmo

A Total Sausage Fest: El Rey del Chori – The Chorizo King of San Telmo

Follow the smoke signals and the barbecue parrilla smells to escape the Sunday San Telmo Market bustle and enter into a parking garage turned sausage wonderland. Chorizos, bondiolas, beer, wine and live music — you’ve never quite seen an Argentine chorizo fiesta quite like this one.

Cusic: Eating Out At Home

On the far end of Palermo Hollywood, stumble up to the house-like tall door, pull on a wooden spoon, and enter into the world of Cusic: a cosy, homey café with lovely decor, wonderful baked goods and tasty homemade food.

Lost in Belgrano: Bistro Tokyo

Lost in Belgrano: Bistro Tokyo

Bistro Tokyo isn’t some new hidden gem that magically dropped from the sushi heavens. It’s one of those spots that has been quietly off the radar for a few years, favorited by those Japanese food lovers who really know what’s up. Even though I added it long ago to my Buenos Aires restaurant hit list, […]

Caribe Riqueño: A Cuban-Puerto Rican Chinatown Feast

Posted on May 29, 2013 7 Comments

**CARIBE RIQUEÑO’S KITCHEN IS NOW CLOSED** Ropa vieja, tostones, fried plantains, mandioca, rice and black beans, finding Cuban and Puerto Rican food in Buenos Aires is just as common as finding… ummmm… well… I can’t think of a witty enough analogy so let’s just fail and say it’s not common at all. But you can […]

Pomegranate Season: Pomegranate Quinoa Israeli Salad

Pomegranate Season: Pomegranate Quinoa Israeli Salad

Fall has hit Buenos Aires, and so has the autumn produce: squash, mandarin oranges, apples, eggplant, tomatoes and my personal favorite: pomegranate (granada). Who cares if I’ve been staining my clothes and entire kitchen with the deep red juicy seed dye, totally worth it to reap the benefits of this super food. Pomegranates are a wonderful […]
