The life of an amateur food blogger is quite hard work. You have to go out to eat, take pictures of food and then write about it. One of my most recent challenges included reviewing three pounds of glorious crispy, salty, American styled streaky bacon. And not just any bacon, the ONLY real bacon in […]
Peruvian Fusion Supper Club: Casa Jauretche
Puertas cerradas, closed door restaurants, supper clubs – call it what you will, this form of dining experience continues to increase in popularity with great spots popping up all over the city. Since first receiving press about this trend back in 2006, chefs continue to invite a selective number of guests to enjoy a special […]
Attention All Chili Cooks!
Put on your best apron (because isn’t that what chili cooks wear?) and grab your spices because here comes the first annual Buenos Aires Chili Cook-Off on Sunday, July 3rd, 2011! Get together with expats and locals to make new friends and taste some mighty fine home-cooked chili. All are welcome, especially if you want […]
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 […]
Brotes del Alma: Good Food From the Soul
**BROTES DEL ALMA IS NOW CLOSED** Located in a Belgrano house, converted into a restaurant, Brotes del Alma serves up creative, sophisticated dishes, at very economic prices, where the food shines as the main attraction. There is not an overall theme to the type of food served – using my own personal classification system, I […]
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 […]
Buenos Aires Bagels: If you can’t find them, make them.
BA has gone bagel CRAZY. Everywhere you look, bread with holes are popping up all over the place. Besides the decent ones at Malvón, La Crespo and Quiero Bagel, a really good, inexpensive bagel just doesn’t exist. So to fulfill my jewy craving, I spent a whopping $10 pesos on ingredients, and whipped up a batch […]
All Hype at Cluny
**CLUNY IS NOW CLOSED** When I first stepped foot in Argentina, Cluny was the HOTNESS. All the rave. The cool place to weekend Palermo-it-up. But, at a whopping minimum 30 pesos per person, my cheap Study Abroad ass opted to go down the street to the then LAID back (ahem) Mark’s Deli for a delicious […]
Asado at the Estancia
Every few months it’s important to get a vacation from Buenos Aires, if only for just the day, and venture off to distant lands like Zona Norte, Tigre or somewhere in the campo. Spending a day at an estancia (Argentine ranch) is common on the tourist-trap track, and after many years living in this country […]
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 […]
