Hey strangers! It’s been a while, but I’m coming back to my roots, baby! I started this little food blog at the end of 2009 as a way to share some of my favorite edible discoveries in Argentina, a time when it wasn’t so easy to find out about delicious things to eat and the stories behind them. […]

New in Town: La Noire Café
There are a lot of cafés in Buenos Aires, but how do you choose that perfect coffee shop? The type of place that is unpretentious but serious about excellent quality coffee.

The Empanada Quest: La Carbonera
I first tried La Carbonera one lazy Netflix/PedidosYa delivery night last year. I was on the hunt for a great milanesa, and La Carbonera caught my eye.

Argentine Food Glossary: The Most Popular Foods in Buenos Aires
If you’ve ever ventured into unknown Porteño food waters and stepped inside a random Buenos Aires bodegón-parrilla-restaurant-resto-bar-restobar-café-cybercafé-etc., you probably had some trouble deciphering the menu.
