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.
At the beginning of each year, I do a writeup of the past one – usually a look at four areas – Casa SaltShaker, Eating Out, Vacations, and Cooking at Home. I take a look at the high points and low points. It often takes me days of figuring it all out. 2020 didn’t take… Read More Should I Even…
It seems fitting to close out 2020 with a positive restaurant review and get ourselves setup for a far better 2021! Over the last many years we’ve been to our friend Christina Sunae’s restaurants – first, an in-home closed door spot called Cocina Sunae and then later, and many times since, to Sunae Asian Cantina. Earlier… Read More From a Granddaughter’s Kitchen
It has always been surprising the lack of diversity of cuisines available in a metropolitan city like Buenos Aires. It doesn’t feel like it’s lacking on the surface of things, but if you really stop and think about it there’s not a lot. If you look at Asian food, it’s pretty much Chinese food, mostly… Read More The Neighbors Move In
We continue to get ourselves out and about a bit. With special permits, more and more restaurants are starting to allow indoor seating – they have to get inspected for sufficient ventilation and proper sanitation methods. We’re still opting for spots where we can stay outdoors, and probably will continue to do so far awhile… Read More Bite Marks #83

Even with restrictions and us being extra careful with only outdoor seating, even though some indoor is allowed now, and figuring out sharing food without passing around glasses or plates, it just feels good to be trying new things. And also a reminder that… Read More A Very Sandwich Special
I’m not going to claim that life is “returning to normal”, because we’re a long way from there yet. And, undoubtedly there will be a “new normal” by the end of this all. But there’s definitely a movement towards some form of moving along. Not for everyone. I have friends here who still basically haven’t… Read More Where to Eat #12
Let’s see, where are we at with this whole quarantine thing? It’s been extended, yet again, now until October 25th. That’s over seven months now! I’d expect they’ll do it again for yet another 2-3 weeks when we get there. But some stuff is opening up more. Many restaurants now have outdoor tables, either on… Read More Bite Marks #82
First, you (and I) were probably starting to wonder if we’d ever see another Where To Eat post. This quarantine has dragged, and is still dragging on, over six months now here. But second, we do have a little more freedom, we’re more into the “stay at home when you can” level of things than… Read More Where to Eat #11
