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.
Buenos Aires – Coming from a country like the U.S., where vacations are taken more or less at random, living in a place like Argentina can be a bit awkward when official vacation time rolls around.

Buenos Aires – I am saddened to have to pass along the news of the demise of a long cherished friend. The best pastrami in New York is no more. For those who’ve been reading the last couple of weeks, I very well may have been the last food writer to review the 2nd Avenue… Read More Great Steak, Good Fun
Buenos Aires – This is going to be a bit of a rambling post, mostly just catching up on a variety of things over the past couple of days since returning home.
