The Other Buenos Aires Barbecue: BAB Cocina Coreana

November 2015 – BAB HAS UNFORTUNATELY CLOSED Porteños have two real edible love affairs: beef and barbecue. While it’s true that the majority of locals keep a fairly conservative diet, thanks to a changing food scene and eaters with more adventurous palates, Korean cuisine makes for a logical winning equation. With a personal parrilla grilling up high quality cuts of locally sourced beef […]

I Got 99 Problems But A Café Ain’t One: The Best Coffee in Buenos Aires

The coffee revolution in Buenos Aires is here. For a city with such a vibrant café-going culture, it’s too easy to find a shitty cup of coffee. Poor quality beans are most likely sugar roasted, and made in a machine that hasn’t been cleaned since 1998. But no longer are the days when coffee snobs aficionados are forced to […]

The Lucky Chino: Best Chinese Restaurants in Buenos Aires

DOGG: Getting It On Hot Doggy Style

It’s time to forever bid farewell to your favorite pancho stand, because a beautiful all beef salchicha has hit the streets of BA. Packed with juicy beef, grilled on the parrilla, nestled inside a pillowy fresh bun and served with a glorious selection of fresh toppings and interesting sauces, all of our long and pink wiener-y hot dog dreams have […]

La Más Querida: A beloved pizza a la parrilla love story

UPDATE June 2016: La Mas Querida now has a new Palermo Hollywood location –> Carranza 1875.  It’s only natural for Argentina’s favorite cooking contraption to mate with the number one fast food to form an illegitimate food baby. Some would say it’s the antithesis of what porteño pizza is all about, and maybe that’s why I love […]
