Happy Thanksgiving, American Style

Happy Thanksgiving, American Style

It’s no coincidence that I chose to visit my family in the US over Thanksgiving, the only major holiday where eating takes center stage, giving thanks for being a bunch of total greedy foodface stuffing fatties. After 4 years of Argentine-styled Thanksgivings, it was time to celebrate authentic American food traditions, feasting until you can feast […]

The Best Pizza in Buenos Aires: Siamo Nel Forno

Surprising to many locals who have a life-long devoted loyalty to their favorite dish, Argentina is known by many to serve some pretty awful pizza. Some have even go far to say that it’s one of the worst pizza in the world. Oh, but how can you go wrong with dough + cheese + grease, might […]

Happy Drunk Fest: Buenos Aires Happy Hour Guide

Bar at Kansas during Happy Hour, after they cleared out lots of empties. Note: This guide was made in 2010, and probably very out of date. Help me make another guide and tell me about your favorite Buenos Aires happy hour. Happy Hour should be called something different. Who came up with this stupid expression? First […]

A Sausage Love Story: Freddy’s Choripán

Outside a hole-in-the-wall on the cobblestone streets of the San Telmo barrio in Buenos Aires, envious line-waiters patiently endure the grill smoke while watching eaters sit curbside and shovel beefy sandwiches into their faces. I had walked by this spot several times without realizing the wonders inside. But the time finally came, on one special day […]

The Argentine Steak: Guide To The Best Parrillas In Buenos Aires

Updated in 2016. Slap another steak on the parrilla, because it’s time to get down with some Argentine meat. Known as the land of beef, Argentina is a leader in the carnivorous world with one of the highest beef consumption rates on the planet (local porteños scarf down a yearly average of more than 140 pounds of cow […]

Florencio Bistró & Patisserie

Florencio Bistró & Patisserie

On a small cobblestone street behind the British Embassy in Recoleta you can find the cutest little café bistro you ever did see. Florencio (Francisco de Vittoria 2363) fits only about 10-15 people with 5 small tables inside and one small table outside on the sidewalk. The menu includes items like sandwiches, tartas, baked goods, […]

Who doesn’t love a cupcake?

Sitting in Muma’s, a tiny cupcake (and muffin) bakery in the overly trendy Palermo Soho area, is one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had in a while.

Culinary Tour of Brazil

I met this Argentine dude in my hostel in Rio de Janeiro. He was a 30 something guy who always looked like he was about to go for a jog — decked out in black Nike shorts with one of those light weight Adidas muscle sleeveless shirts. He had been in Rio for the past […]

My Favorite Brazilian Snack: Salgadinhos

Salgadinhos consist of a delicious cheesy, vegetable or meat stuffing, wrapped in a baked or fried dough. In the empanada family, you can find a variety of these perfectly sized snacks at just about any corner in Rio de Janeiro. Despite the variety of sizes, all cost exactly the same, and pretty much all are […]
