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.
I have to admit, I’m putting together (well, not making any effort to, but they’re piling up) quite the list of places that just haven’t “made the grade” recently. We had three mediocre Horde outings in a row, which had us all scratching our heads, as all three places had come well recommended (Italian, Spanish, and… Read More Where to Eat #4
An all Asian round-up… it’s been awhile! Monkin, Formosa 327, Caballito (the characters on the menu are handwritten, and harder to read than classic printed Chinese, but if I’m reading them right, mean something to the effect of “sunrise satisfaction”). It was one of those days. One of those days when I vowed to stop paying… Read More Chop Suey #23
Oh, where to start…? Let’s go simple to elaborate this time around. Yes, the infamous “avocado toast” is a thing in Argentina too.

For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question ‘How can we eat?’ the second by the question ‘Why do we eat?’ and… Read More What to Eat #1
This time, in just three places, we’re all over the map, or at least, I am. We have a burger spot, a smokehouse, and a brand spanking new Korean place. We’re in Caballito, Palermo, and Floresta. Hmmm, at least in price, I’ve stayed in the “reasonable” end of things, despite the recent volatility of the… Read More A Trio of Recommendations!
These have been collected over about two months… just one after the other that I wouldn’t return to, for one reason or another.
