Buenos Aires - That seems to be the question on several of my friends’ lips, as I don’t seem to be eating steak four meals a day. There is a myth that beef for breakfast, lunch, second lunch, and dinner is how the porteños eat. And, as a tourist, I have no doubt that has [...]
Buenos Aires - The aforementioned drizzle kept myself and my guests in for most of the weekend. For the most part it was two days of television, reading, and me playing in the kitchen.

I never cared much for Chuckles as a kid, and I don’t go for gelées now. That’s never going to change." - Alan Richman, GQ
