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.
Let’s start off with a round of delivery options (though both are places one could go to, of course). And, as usual, sushi…. A couple of years ago, I touted visits to Paru Inkas Sushi & Grill in Belgrano and Paru Inkas Sushi Deli in Palermo. I liked the food at both, though was less than… Read More Where to Eat #8
?Hot pastrami. When it’s good, it borders on orgasmic, a la When Harry Met Sally. When it’s bad, it’s heartbreaking. Now, the problem, as I’ve mentioned on and off over the years, is that most of what passes for pastrami here, locally called pastrón, is sort of the sliced lunchmeat version of it. It’s usually some… Read More The Earthy Lyricism of Hot Pastrami
What has the Roving Ravenous Horde been up to recently? We’ve been bouncing about, and trying some rather different spots. First up was our 75th outing, for which I thought I’d organize something “special”. I had been to Alo’s Café & Bistro, Blanca Encalada 2120, in La Horqueta, almost exactly three years ago to try their,… Read More Horde-ing
Mr. Ho, Paraguay 884, Centro. This is a sort of redux, a revisit, but not exactly. Those of you who’ve followed by various Korean adventures may remember, a couple of years ago, our visit to Mr. Ho in Floresta, which resulted in a flat “Ho No”. Now, I make no claims to having influenced this… Read More Ho & Cho, Korean Adventures
A trio of Japanese spots, revisited. More or less. Tori Tori, Ecuador 1175, Recoleta. First reviewed back in February 2017, this, being the city’s only yakitori bar, is one of my “go to” spots for… yakitori. Coming up on three years, I thought it might be nice to bring it back to your attention…. I almost always… Read More A Japanese Redux
A verrrry interesting selection this time around. Then again, when isn’t it? Boticario, Honduras 5207, Palermo – Sometimes (sometimes?) things get away from me. A mere 94 weeks ago… I happened by this cool looking apothecary display in a window in Palermo. I posted it to Instagram – didn’t know what it was, there… Read More Where to Eat (& Drink) #7
A beautiful day for a meander through Villa Urquiza… with the jacarandas in bloom…. Just Stuff It! But, one needs to stop for lunch; or maybe that was the reason for traveling twelve kilometers to the northeast; and heading to Vacarellos, Av. Albarellos 2602 in the first place? I was here for two things…. the much touted…… Read More Where to Eat #6
I’d like to think that I’ve had something to do with the sudden popularization of Korean food in BA. It may well just be an idle conceit on my part, but, at the same time, my map of Asian restaurants on Google has over 3200 views as of right now, and my specific map of… Read More Korea-Spreading
