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.
La Guitarrita, Cuba 3300, Nuñez – This one has been on my map for awhile, just because it comes recommended by several sources, though none of them personal friends. Then there was an article about the owner, and how he took on resuscitating a failing pizzeria that his parents had started years before (I think… Read More Bite Marks #49
The search for great Peruvian food continues. This set of spots puts us over 70 out of a supposed roughly 200 in and around the city. El Paisita, Av. Jujuy 1023, San Cristobal – A spot just down from the main strip of the restaurant supply district that we’ve passed a couple of times.… Read More Peru Bites!
What do we have this time… craft beer, of course, because that’s the new in thing. A little Spanish cooking. A mushroom pizza. And, a fancy schmancy new cocktail bar.

Plenty of colorful… Read More Bite Marks #47
As I’ve started to put more thought into lunches for the Roving Ravenous Horde, I thought it would be interesting to add in an element of something else cultural to each lunch, as an optional extra. Lunch and a museum, lunch and a gallery, lunch and a park, lunch and…? A quint of us (all four… Read More Creative Roots & The Diary
I just couldn’t decide what and where to plan for the Roving Ravenous Horde’s fourth outing. Thanks to my friend David up in Boston (of dumpling diving adventure fame) who suggested that we try out something Caribbean. With Hurricanes Irma & Jose in the offing, maybe it was just subliminal messaging that had it on his… Read More La Isla Bella
Let’s start off with our local craft beer spot craze…. Pibä, Av.

Their raison d’etre is a… Read More Bite Marks #46
