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 don’t want to belong to any club that would accept people like me as a member.” – Groucho Marx (one of several variants of the quote reported over the years) I am not fond of writing negative reviews. I am fond of reading them, there’s a certain inner darkness that leaps forward with a… Read More The Old Club
We may have actually reached the end of the Koreatown overview of Korean restaurants, out in Bajo Flores. I think we’ve hit them all. There are still a couple of sushi bars, but I haven’t found any other Korean spots listed, or spotted while walking around. There are still a couple in the newer Koreatown,… Read More Not Such a Great Angle
Time really has flown. It’s really hard for me to believe that I’ve been here for close on 13 years. I spent 23 years in New York City and surrounds, following college, and it seemed like I was there forever. Here, I feel like I’ve only been here a short time still, and more than… Read More The Pin Still Rolls
I’m going to take a break from Bite Marks for a bit and just post some short reviews as they come up – longer than the Bite Marks ones, but in general, shorter than full on reviews. HB, Pacheco de Melo 2001, Recoleta – taking over the space vacated recently by the quite good… Read More Hoo-Boy…
? Sometimes, I get things confused. And, I feel the need to send out at least a minor apology to the Roving Ravenous Horde for our 22nd outing. I got two restaurants backwards. You see, way back in 2006, Henry and I had trouped off to Primavera Trujillana, a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Belgrano that was basically… Read More A New Spring?
A little something different, with a solo night out before Henry got back from Peru. I spotted a listing for this quintet, Damian Bolotin + Cumpas playing at a small venue on Av. Córdoba, CIRCE Fábrica de Arte. The billing was for a sort of fusion between classical, jazz, and tango music, and I decided to give… Read More Bite Marks #57
It’s been over three years since my last foray into sandwiches, at least with any concentration. There have been numerous sandwiches on The Great Sandwich Hunt during that time, just not all put together for your lunchtime enjoyment. Raclette, Grilled cheese & coffee house, Arenales 939, Retiro – other than peanut butter and jelly, there’s probably… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 11
A couple of spots that were in the hopper from before I left on vacation, and a couple tried since returning…. We’ve got vegetarian sandwiches, burgers, a fantastic mustard sauce, and even some relatively decent sushi. Veggie Medio Oriente, Suipacha 532, Microcentro – Fast food, albeit ostensibly better for you than the typical burger,… Read More Bite Marks #56
