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.
It was the 15th outing of the Roving Ravenous Horde, a raving success of a social group if I do say so myself, and I do. It was also our last outing of 2017. I’d spotted this relatively new restaurant one day wandering back from Alto Palermo mall, and made a note of it. It seemed a perfect… Read More Land of Lincoln
This is probably my favorite spicy Chinese dish out there, and I’m on the hunt to track down places that offer it. Suggestions welcome! (And what better post for a good Midwestern Jewish boy to put up on Christmas Day?) For those not familiar with the dish, it comes under a variety of names,… Read More Spicy Szechuan Peppercorn Chicken
These don’t even qualify as Bite Marks, a mere grazing at a few new places of note. Notes good and bad. Mi Fan, Sarmiento 3714, Almagro – This one popped up recently on PedidosYa and I thought I’d give it a try one evening for a delivery order. Potstickers so oily you can almost see… Read More Bite Marks #52 Nibblings
Honduras 5237, Palermo. It’s the only enduring thing about this place. Early on in my time in BA it was Eliot, a place with a sub-moniker of “restaurant and other passions”, the latter of which we never did discover, nor did anyone seem quite sure who Eliot was. Then it became Bardot Loisir, under chef Marco Espinoza,… Read More A Lovely Bunch of …

I’m not a big steak eater, but, now and then I get in a temporary mood, and, what the heck, let’s go for it. First up was the group outing, #14 for the Roving Ravenous Horde, and a… Read More Steakhouse Special
Perhaps, just for kicks and grins, as the saying goes, we’ll go from the worst to the best…. Pequeña Casita China, Hipólito Yrigoyen 185, Martínez – My intention was a Chinese food crawl with a friend or two, with the idea to hit a trio (or possibly more) of places that readers have recommended in… Read More Bite Marks #51
? It was time for planning future outings of the Roving Ravenous Horde, and over lunch at La Malbequeria, the idea of trying out “that restaurant out on the dock on the river” came up. Many years ago, when I first moved to BA, I’d mentioned the place, it was a restaurant called Muelle del Plata,… Read More Sittin’ on the Dock…
This time around – a new wine shop/bar, a little Mexican to the south of the city, a steakhouse in Palermo, and some Chinese to the northwest. Something for everyone! Winemakers, Montevideo 1444, Recoleta – A brand spanking new spot for wine tasting here in Recoleta. While primarily a well curated wine shop, they… Read More Bite Marks #50
