POP UP RESTAURANTS ARE STILL THE RAGE, BUT MANY OF THESE PARTICULAR TRANSIENT DINNERS HAVE NOT FIZZLED AND MOVED AWAY Watch out puertas cerradas, a hot younger gastronomical sister has hit the Río de la Plata.

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.

The Summer Guide to Eating and Drinking In The Wild Palermo Outdoors
Eating outdoors is one of those strange pleasantries in life, whether it’s an outdoor patio, rooftop terrace, quiet backyard garden or even colectivo polluted sidewalk, food somehow tastes better while sitting outside basking in the aire libre. The Buenos Aires dining and café scene is all about outdoor spaces, where restaurants immediately increase in stock […]
My New Favorite Brunch: Hernán Gipponi Restaurant in Fierro Hotel
**Hernán Gipponi Restaurant is no longer in the Fierro Hotel** For those looking to indulge in an extra special, extravagant brunch, skip the Faena, Park Hyatt or Alvear hotels and instead boutique it up at Hernán Gipponi’s restaurant, inside the Fierro Hotel. After two visits this past month, it’s fair to say that H 2-da G […]
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, […]

The Perfect Plate of Rabas: El Preferido de Palermo
Long before Palermo Soho flooded with overly trendy porteños, when Spanish was still the dominate language of the neighborhood, El Preferido de Palermo opened as a standard almácen-like bodegón: no frills, attentive service, solid food. Since the opening in 1952, this restaurant on the corner of Guatemala and Borges has stayed true to its heritage, […]
Food Porn Depression: Yanquiland Chapter
I always go into a deep, dark pit of food depression once back in Buenos Aires after an extended vacation. Generally, that intense culinary homesick feeling comes into full force Day 2 of being back, around lunch time or inside a supermarket, when I get a huge cock slap realization to the face: the food […]
Loreto Garden Bar
It’s mighty refreshing finding a solid lunch spot that breaks away from the Palermo café-lunch-brunch scene epicenter. Loreto Garden Bar, situated in a residential part of Colegiales, is an ideal warm-weather spot, to sit outside, and have a mighty tasty lunch. Loreto’s menu may seem like any old Argie café menu of burger-sandwich-salad-tarta-offerings, but look a bit […]
BBQ Town: Korean BBQ Right In Your Backyard
Barrio Chino, my culinary mecca, and home to many disappointing Chinese restaurants (except Asia Oriental counter and Hong Kong Style), has now just gotten a lot more interesting: spicy kimchee, beautiful bulgogi, more than 25 small plates of hot and cold dishes, soup, oysters, bacon, shrimp, lettuce wraps, dumplings – I could go on and on.
