**THIS SPOT IS NOW CLOSED*** For a typical Argie, a Sunday afternoon would never consist of eggs, bacon or bagels. Although brunch has made an appearance to the Buenos Aires food scene in recent years, the weekend asado will never go out of style. So, feeling the porteño spirit, I headed over to Humbolt and […]

Olsen: The Original Buenos Aires Brunch
OLSEN IS CLOSED. Back in the day, in the mid 2000s, before the brunch craze invaded Buenos Aires, Olsen reigned on top for THE place to brunch.

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 […]
