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.
The now, more or less, monthly round-up of spots worth checking out! Pizzas, once again, will get their own post, coming up shortly. Outdoor dining continues, and as the temperatures begin to cool off in early fall, most of that is happening at lunchtime when it’s more pleasant to sit outside. We’re still not at… Read More Bite Marks #86
It’s been a long while since I did an all pizza special, and I’ve been collecting these to offer up to the Pizza Gods. And, away we go…. El Fuelle, Av. Medrano 99, Almagro. A year ago, almost to the day, we had a Horde lunch at El Patio de Mingo, a fun steak-heavy outing. Wandering around… Read More Pizza ‘Round Table
Wherein, we snack. Rayadas, Güemes 4245, Palermo. The box tells you the story. “Honesty, madness, and breadcrumbs” is not the first slogan that a milanesa restaurant would typically go for. “If you saw a butterfly or a bat on the spot, you are sane.

A round up of some casual lunch bites over the last month or so…. Let’s start with a trio of pizzerias. First up, Antonio’s Pizza, Tacuarí 76, Monserrat. This one was ordered up for delivery as my lunch while watching the presidential inauguration. I tossed it quickly in the oven to re-crisp it up a little… Read More Bite Marks #84
The Horde was on the march once again, bravely battling our way ‘cross town to the barrio of Chacarita for our 89th outing, where we had ourselves setup for a table of six on the sidewalk out front of the newly opened Picaron, Av. Dorrego 866. It’s not the best block for outdoor eating; though… Read More I Yam What I Yam
Years ago… wow… probably like 20 years ago, thinking about it, I had this idea of opening a burger and sandwich shop with a menu of wines by the half bottle. I mean, nothing against craft beer and a burger, but I’m still more of a wine guy. Now, I was focusing on wines that… Read More Red Wine Loves
