Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life

Category: Restaurants

Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.

Horde Down, Horde Up

The Roving Ravenous Horde continues to venture forth, marauding across the city in search of good food! Then again, we don’t always find it…. I should just stop with this photo, give you the name of the place, and suggest… “No.” Los Orientales, Av. Rivadavia 3981, Almagro…. Regular readers will remember my on and off obsession… Read More Horde Down, Horde Up

Sushi, Soup, and Iced Coffee

Three of my favorite things! I’m going to start Japanese, at Kotten Sushi, Borges 1891, Palermo, on a very hot (35C/95F) afternoon, with little more than a wall mounted fan offering cooling in the outdoor space, and as far as I could tell, even less indoors. The menu offers up Nikkei and vegan Japanese dishes, mostly… Read More Sushi, Soup, and Iced Coffee

The Chronicles of Shawarma – Book XIV

I’m back in shawarma mode, partially fueled by a regular reader who sent me some questions and recommendations, and partially, I’ve just been missing them over the last two years. Like everyone, I’ve been missing a lot of things. This is one I can do something about. Al Cashwi/Cawshi (??), Av. Corrientes 1845, Once. I’m… Read More The Chronicles of Shawarma – Book XIV

The Chronicles of Shawarma – Book XIII

It has been just a whisper past two years since I last did a focused shawarma round-up. I was reminded of that quest when a regular reader sent me an email asking if my shawarma map was up-to-date, post-pandemic. It is, more or less. I’ve relied on simply making a pass through the entries on… Read More The Chronicles of Shawarma – Book XIII

A Quint of Pies

Continuing in the vein of dedicated posts, it seemed time for another pizza extravaganza. This one I’ve focused on a bit more recently than burger posts, with five dedicated posts this year already. I do like my pizza. La Pascana, Paraguay 5100, Palermo – A classic neighborhood Argentine pizza joint. I think this was one… Read More A Quint of Pies

Just Another Burger Post

It’s been awhile since I did more dedicated posts on a particular “dish”. And quite awhile, like… four years, since I offered up a dedicated burger post. There have been plenty of burgers since, but mixed in to my various Bite Marks posts. It’s time I showed a little dedication, no? Because I’m not eating… Read More Just Another Burger Post

The Horde Cuts In

On a back street in Belgrano, near to Chinatown, a steakhouse and butcher shop opened up a couple of years ago. While one of our past members of the Horde had dined here and highly recommended it, none of the rest of us had made the trek. Corte Comedor, at Olazábal 1391, was our destination last… Read More The Horde Cuts In

The Engineer’s Barrio

John Coghlan was an Irish engineer, born in 1824. Educated in Paris, and several years of work on various European railway lines, he was recruited at the age of 33 by the Argentine government as a consulting engineer to work on various projects related to railways and the Buenos Aires harbor. He supplemented that work… Read More The Engineer’s Barrio
