Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
The monthly roundup of unused photos, just for fun, of course. When we were leaving Aramburu a couple of weeks back we spotted the arrival of a brand new subway car on a flatbed trailer. Didn’t have time to get the camera out, so grabbed a quick shot with the phone as it disappeared down… Read More The August Photos
It’s been eons since my last little head of state walking tour, where I ended up with Manuel Dorrego being executed by his childhood friend Juan Lavalle. I actually started walking Lavalle street shortly thereafter – all the way back in December of last year – though never completed the walk, nor wrote it up.… Read More The Unitarian Return – Briefly
…the monthly roundup of orphan pictures, from July. I think I’ll start with hot wings – these, at home, from the new Atlanta Wing Factory in Palermo. [Closed in early 2016] I’d tried some of their wings at the big Taste! 2012 event recently and thought they were decent. The guys were talking about their new… Read More It’s time for…

Those of you who live here are probably familiar with the two online local food giants – Buenos Aires Delivery, a relative newcomer that has become the expat lifeline for finding and ordering takeout food; and Guia Oleo, the local Zagat’s equivalent for ratings and commentary of restaurants throughout the city (if your Spanish is… Read More A Taste of Taste
One of my guilty pleasures is watching competition cooking shows. I don’t watch them for the reason that, I think, most people do, which tends to be getting deeply involved in the whole competition process. It’s easy to see on the online forums for these shows, people railing against judges whom they’re quite sure are… Read More Too Many Inspirations
“What is a country without rabbits and partridges? They are among the most simple and indigenous animal products; ancient and venerable families known to antiquity as to modern times; of the very hue and substance of Nature, nearest allied to leaves and to the ground- and to one another; it is either winged or it… Read More A Tale of Quail and Partridge
