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.
More Asian food, a bit of dumpling diving. And for those who find it of interest, I’m in the process of putting together a citywide map of Asian dining spots. It’s a work in progress that I should have complete with what I’ve already reviewed by later this week. Aroma China, Paraguay 2741, Recoleta… Read More Chop Suey #10
One of the things that people who love burgers know is that it’s not all about the fancy gourmet places with special blends of meat, and oddball homemade sauces, and offbeat cheeses and toppings. Sometimes it’s all about having a well seasoned patty of good quality meat, on a decent bun, with the basics –… Read More Pub Burger Special
Among other Asian dining, we continue here with a couple of entries from Sundays with Steven, the friend I’ve been exploring Flores with – we’ve made it a regular Sunday lunch for five weeks in a row now, checking a new spot each time. Baik Kul Samgyupsal (White Dove Barbecue Shop), Gogiya (name change, same… Read More Chop Suey #9
Amore’s Pizza, Arenales 1721, Recoleta – This recently opened place here in the ‘hood smells delightful when you wander down the block. I’ve passed it by a couple of times since it opened and tucked it away in my mind to order up from them soon. And then, one day, passing by, I thought I’d… Read More Bite Marks #38
You already know how this works…. Buena Suerte, Cuenca 1339, Villa Santa Rita – There are several Chinese “rotiserias”, primarily takeout spots, called Buena Suerte, or Good Luck, in various parts of town (in fact, I could probably do a whole post just running around comparing them). I don’t think there’s any relationship between them other… Read More Chop Suey #8
Time for a few more burgers. I’ve been keeping them in reserve for just this moment…. Baum Cervecería, Honduras 5720, Palermo – Anyone who’s been in BA in the last year or so has seen the exponential rise of craft beer bars. Two years ago, you were lucky if you could find a craft beer… Read More Put a Bun On It
A real hodge-podge of different cuisines and foodstuffs and all the rest this time around! And, a long one (though not so much in words as in photos). Quotidiano, Av. Callao 1299, Recoleta – A new spot, just opened up, serving pretty much all day long, lunch and dinner focused on Italian food – particularly… Read More Bite Marks #37
Since this time around the focus is on Japanese and Korean, I suppose I could have subbed in for “chop suey” one of the various similar terms or dishes – chapusui, chuuka-don, happousai, japchae – but then I did include one Chinese spot, so I’m sticking with the plan. Not a lot in the way of… Read More Chop Suey #7
