Spring Recipe: My Favorite Chopped Salad

Spring Recipe: My Favorite Chopped Salad

This is honestly my favorite salad ever.  Packed with fresh veggies, healthy, crispy, delicious.  I’ve said this many times before, if you can boil water and have the patience to chop a shitload of vegetables, you can make this salad (or a variation of it). The key? High quality vegetables.  This recipe replaces my old […]

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, […]

Villa Crespo Is The Hotness: Best Restaurants in Villa Crespo

Villa Crespo is the new Palermo, except much cooler, and has been for some time.  Venture off to the VC for some restaurants that are two thumbs up fine holiday fun. Here is my rundown of the best that Palermo Queens (what a ridiculously invented name) has to offer.  Take a culinary food tour through […]

Food Porn Depression: Yanquiland Chapter

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 […]

Healthy Spring Recipe: Quinoa + Raw Veggie Pita Pocket

Spring is here and that means one thing: goodbye bacon, hello verduras.  This recipe is cheap, low cal (ugh I know, the horror) and easy to make.  While it isn’t as tasty as a French toast and bacon sandwich, it probably contains those things called vitamins or minerals or something.  You need to have the […]

Loreto Garden Bar

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

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.

The Buenos Aires Vegetarian Dilemma: What to eat in Argentina?

As a former vegetarian for many years, once I moved to Buenos Aires I quickly put a halt to my plant-eating ways and succumbed to the carnivorous lure of the beef.  For those strong-willed who have yet to cross over to the dark side, make sure to not fall victim of the endless cheese and […]

Soup Of The Day: Roasted Pumpkin and Carrot Soup

With winter nearing an end, it’s almost time to say goodbye to beloved soup season.  Partial to the butternut squash / pumpkin variety, but feeling an overall deficiency in nutrients, adding carrot to the mix proved to be a good decision.  I’m not going to go into all the healthy properties of the carrot, because […]

Asian Noodle Salad

Asian Noodle Salad

With asado season approaching, it’s always a good idear to have a few easy yet delicious side dishes up your sleeve.  Asian flavors + kilos of asado meat might not seem like a good combination to some, since Argies are accustomed to haute cuisine sides like the famed ensalada rusa or carrot and mayonnaise salad.
