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.
Days 3 & 4, still grazing, but winding that part of the trip down…. Takoyaki at Fresh Mojoilla, stall 26, New World Mall, Flushing. We went to check out this famous food court in the basement of the New World Mall, a beacon of pan-Asian street food and more elaborate dishes. We tried various dumplings, and… Read More Back to the Big Apple #2
No fancy reviews. I’m off on a two week holiday – a week in NYC, a few days in Louisville, and a couple in Atlanta. Just picking out “best or most interesting things I ate”…. Let’s start with the first two days… yes, all this in two days (we did a bit of an “appetizer… Read More Back to the Big Apple #1
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an all pizza special. Much as it is Nature’s Most Perfect Food, it’s not necessarily good for the waistline. Especially when I either go out and sample slices and 3-4 different spots in a row or eat whole pies by myself. Moderation and all that. La Clotilde, Jerónimo Salguero… Read More Pizza Pizza
Today a couple of antipodes. Not exactly polar opposites, as there’s no pole involved, and they were both very good, so we don’t have opposites in terms of quality. But, our first spot focused in on classic local fare from here in Buenos Aires, while the second dug straight through the globe to Asia. Both… Read More The Little Bridge & The Tiger

Oh come on, you can just look at the photo of this Mexican spot and start to feel the hairs… Read More Bite Marks #76
I feel like there ought to be something special for a milestone like the 75th Bite Marks. But, unless I simply pick and choose what I’m going to present to do so, it doesn’t work that way. Such is life. I know, that didn’t bode well, did it? But then, I do tend to save… Read More Bite Marks #75
Time once again for the Wayback Machine. All the way back to April 14th of 2006, almost exactly 13 years ago… and a visit to Don Chicho, in Villa Ortuzár. A place I visited numerous times after that first visit, because of the incredible fresh pasta. The gimmick, except it wasn’t really a gimmick, was that… Read More Pasta, Almost “al Momento”
Face-off. Peru vs. India! El Angelito, San Luis 2741, Recoleta – Opened almost a year ago, and not far from us, apparently it took over the space vacated by Chimu, which has moved elsewhere in the city. It popped up on a delivery service, and we gave it a try. We liked it, and gave… Read More Duo of Spice
