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.
Dumpling House, San Martín 875, Retiro – While I don’t recall my mother ever saying it, received wisdom is that if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it. On the other hand, if a picture is worth a thousand words, the following five photos are spewing out a 5k monologue that ought, at… Read More We Love Our Dumplings, Except When We Don’t
What have we to share today…? Mito Mercato, Soler 6036, Palermo – this one ended up on my radar when someone I know in the cocktail world posted that he was having the best Bloody Mary he’d had in the city over brunch in this place. Steven and I forwent our usual trips to barrios… Read More Bite Marks #69
Let’s start simple…. A whopping basket of fried chicken from Jay’s, Antonio Beruti 2640, Recoleta, our neighborhood “NY diner”, which I’ve reviewed before for their breakfasts and burgers. If I wasn’t trying to put together a decent map of places for fried chicken, I probably wouldn’t give this another review, simply because… I’ve already reviewed it… Read More Bite Marks #68
An all meat special…. La Nueva Esquina, Carlos Calvo 1999, San Cristobal – More from the “Bald Charlie” steakhouse series (if you have to ask, use the search feature on the blog and find out) – there are only two more left after this. Then I have to figure out what to do with them.… Read More Would you like the beef or the chicken?
It’s been a bit since an All-Asian round-up, with, of course, dumplings! Lazy Panda, Mansilla 2767, Recoleta – A relatively new spot here in Recoleta – takeout and delivery only. In fact it might be delivery only – I’ve never seen the front doors open, but have seen the delivery guys coming and going. Ordered… Read More Chop Suey #19
A grab bag of different cuisines and, for a change in Bite Marks, most all of it quite good! That makes me happy. Does it make you happy? Fuku Temakeria, somewhere…. As best I’ve been able to determine, this sushi place is delivery only, they don’t seem to have a public physical location. There… Read More Bite Marks #67
So, this video is apparently from the opening of My Bolivia, Av. Rivadavia 7495, Floresta, about a year and a half ago…. I wouldn’t say that in that year and a half they’ve done a great job of maintaining it. It’s not falling apart, and it’s reasonably clean, but it’s showing a lot more… Read More Our Bolivian Lunch Adventure
Yup. You’ve been waiting for it. Ever since NOLA opened up a few years ago, fried chicken has become THE underground movement. More and more, places are popping up that offer their version. Some of them go for one or another of the norteamericano styles, but there’s plenty more out there. There are different styles of… Read More Pass the Fried Chicken
