“Kimchi? We don’t serve no stinkin’ kimchi.” Okay, it’s not what she said, but it’s pretty much what I heard. The ban chan had been placed on our table and beyond being a paltry selection by comparison to most Korean restaurants around, it included not just no fermented spicy cabbage, but no fermented spicy anything. A… Read More Ho No

I know, I know. I just gave you my potentially last Bite Marks yesterday, and here I am already serving up a Chop Suey. Which, too, while by no means am I stopping checking out Asian restaurants and a lot of dumpling diving, I’m thinking about new formats for short reviews, so this might be… Read More Chop Suey #12

I’m feeling like “Bite Marks” may have hit its upper limit. I want to approach the mini-reviews in another manner. I’ll be giving it some thought, and am open to suggestions. A long one this time, and as usual, a range of types of eats – breakfast food, pizza, pasta, and sandwiches. Bartola, Junín 1761, Recoleta… Read More Bite Marks #40

I really don’t buy that, and if anyone has suggestions for more, let me know.… Read More Chop Suey #11

Snack Meat. Mostly shawarma. But tacos and a burger too. Tarabish, Charcas 4309, Palermo – Taking over the space that used to be La Alhambra. Small spot offering up an array of Lebanese food (although the day we visited they’d sold out of almost everything the night before and out of a fairly extensive menu all… Read More Meat. Some Sort of Bread.
