Despite the fact that Barrio Chino, or China Town, takes up only 2 blocks in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, it still remains a favorite destination in the city. It’s basically my version of Disney World, where you can find anything from tofu to hot chili peppers to lemongrass to sriracha to many more delectable (and not […]
First Days in the USA
“What do you miss about the USA?” is on the top 5 list of questions that many expats are asked when being quizzed about their reasons for living abroad. As a shallow, culinary obsessed, mid-twenty something, my answer will always remain something superficial. These days with the glories of social media and the wonders of […]
What the FLUCK should I make for dinner?
One of the many food related recipe blogs I read, What the fuck should I make for dinner, has inspired me to follow in the good fun and include my recipes of what I’ve been fucking making for dinner. 1. Barbecue chicken fucking salad 2. Empa-fucking-nadas salteñas 3. Fucking rigatoni in a garlic white wine […]
Doppio Zero: Italian Food Done Right
**DOPPIO ZERO IS NOW CLOSED*** With ganas to visit Doppio Zero (Soldado de la Independencia 1238) for quite some time, my intense craving for pasta finally drove me to this small Italian restaurant in Las Cañitas. Once in Belgrano on Zabala, Doppio Zero recently moved to a bigger location, yet on a Thursday night at […]
Food Hoppin’ in Rosario, eh!!!…
Many travelers visiting a new place for a short period of time feel the overwhelming necessity to follow a Nazi-like schedule, ticking off all of the major (and minor) tourist attractions from an uninformed guidebook. Personally, I prefer to engage in my favorite traveling (and non-traveling) pastime: Restaurant Hopping.

Husband and wife, Chef and Sommelier duo Pablo and Ivana open up their charming Villa Crespo home to offer a 5 course menu of elegant food paired with carefully selected wines. The warm […]
THE Go-To Barrio Favorite: Marfa Delivery
There comes a time in an unhealthily food obsessed freak’s life when she finds THE place where she could go everyday, never knew of its existence, and it’s steps away from her lazy-ass doorstep. After almost a year, I finally discovered Marfa Delivery. I must have passed by thousands of times, with no idea what […]
Chicken Club Sandwich, with real bacon
I have kept my secret long enough, and it is time to share… The Jumbo Supermarket in Palermo has bacon. Real bacon, not the prosciutto imitation bullshit. As a nice non-religious Jewish girl, out of habit, I steer clear of pork. But who can resist a crispy, salty, strip of deliciousness? Especially inside a tasty […]
Buenos Aires food prices soar with no food to buy
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 […]
