After a two week trip to Israel on Birthright, on the four meal per day regime, I quickly became obsessed with all things food in the Middle East: fresh chopped vegetables, iced cafés, salads, Israeli breakfasts, homemade breads, fresh fish and tahina-rich flavors. Here is my recap of my best food finds in Israel.
Niji: As Authentic As Japanese Can Get, In Buenos Aires…
With a lack of authentic Japanese restaurants in Buenos Aires, I am happy to add another place to the list. Thanks to a tip-off from my favorite Treatsy and Lost Asian Buenos Aires food bloggers, I found out about the relatively unknown traditional Japanese spot: a hidden gem on the Belgrano-Nuñez border, where a Japanese mother and daughter duo run an […]
Loca for Sopa: Soups at Sugar Bar
**SUGAR NOW ONLY SEASONALLY MAKING SOUPS, CALL AHEAD TO MAKE SURE** In a country known for delicious guisos (stews), soup fails to make an appearance in the local food scene. Should we blame Mafalda for the fact that it is almost impossible to find a delicious bowl of piping hot soup? Luckily, Sugar Bar (Costa […]
La Crespo: A JAP’S (Jewish American Palermonite) Heaven in Villa Crespo
Tallo Verde: Organic Produce Delivery
Oh, there’s nothing like a huge box filled with fresh organic fruits and vegetables delivered right to your door. For all of you fatties who whine about how it’s impossible to eat healthy in this meat and cheese loving city, just put down the empanada and order from Tallo Verde, one of the very few […]
Adios Resaca, Hello Maple Syrup: Magdalena’s Party Brunch
What do classic soul jams, Bloody Marys and massive breakfast crepes have in common? Resto bar Magdalena’s Party weekend brunch offerings. I remember back in the day when it was nearly impossible to find anything reminiscent of a good ole’ USA styled brunch – times have changed and bruncheando is a new local pastime (ranked […]
Potato Leek Soup
The only good things about the cold season are soups and boots. I could eat soup all day every day, and I just might. With the lack of soup in Argentina, (beefy, heavy stews don’t count and neither do those nasty powdered packets) it’s time to bust out the food processor or immersion blenders and […]
A Different Sandwich at a`Manger
Brie and goat cheese with an apple onion chutney baked on freshly made bread, a picada of salami, gruyere cheese and black olives stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, grilled chicken breast and roasted vegetables on top of a bed of greens in a malbec reduction, a Middle Eastern spread with tabbouleh, hummus, babaganoush and ensalada belén, tapas of parmesan cheese wrapped […]
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 […]
