I’ve kept this place a secret for too long, it’s time to share the food love. So here it goes… One of my favorite finds of the year… A place where I’ve regained my hope in a Buenos Aires Jewish deli existence. A spot where I’ve gorged on a hot pastrami sandwich. Gone to town […]
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 […]
The Multifaceted Empanada: Baked Samosas & Dal
Among my many food related hobbies, reading food blogs, looking up recipes, watching Top Chef, watching other cooking shows and memorizing menus, is finding new spins on Argentine favorites. On an empanada wrapper binge, I thought to myself – what fun goodies can I stuff inside? With a craving for some intense spices, it was […]
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 […]
Passport to Yanquiland: The Office Bar & Grill
Ordering a burger in Argentina can definitely be risky. The grand beef myth that all meat reigns supreme halts at the traditional parrilla, with restaurants serving so called ‘burgers’ (processed Barfy or Paty brands) instead of good ole’ ground chuck. In my quest to find a delicious burger I came across many Debbie Downers, “Don’t […]
