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.
There’s always something new on the restaurant scene here in BA. In my neighborhood, Recoleta, things seem to change less often than in some of the more trendy areas, but even so, I can probably count on something new every month or so. Just recently it was Camping, the hot new beer “bar” and casual… Read More Something About Maria
Just what it says in the title… Henry and I headed out one night to a dance performance at a small cultural center in Chacarita, and when it finished up we were famished. Starting out tentatively walking a few blocks to Albamonte for some pizza, we stumbled across El Pollo Rico, Olleros 4172 and thought… Read More Time For Another Round of Mini-Reviews
Casting about to try a new Italian restaurant on Sunday, I decided to leave it up to local palates. According to GuiaOleo, our local version of an online Zagat’s guide, the best (well, actually second best, as the first best wasn’t open on Sundays) Italian restaurant in town is A mi Manera, Baigorria 3237 in… Read More Crowdsourced Italian

Mostly logistical – as the quest has gotten further and further away from home the time commitment involved has gotten greater… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 44-48
Another quartet of peeks at different new (or at least to me) spots here and there, that just happen to fall along the northern parts of BA and its suburbs. Not quite a theme, but there you have it. What’s the deal with numbered burgers? First there was 180 Burger, which I admit I can… Read More Nibbling My Way Through Barrio(s) Norte
While there have been a lot of green salads in my diet the last couple of weeks making up for the massive food intake at the end of last month, man does not live on green salad alone…. Not that I’ve claimed that with little posts on home pizzas and other casual bites. So, a… Read More Random Bites Post Guidebook
I completely missed one dish in yesterday’s post. One of Henry’s favorite Argentine dishes is pastel de papas norteño, which is essentially an Argentine adaptation of a shepherd’s pie. Since we’ve been lightening things up on our days off I decided to go with a vegetarian version: The base, a saute of onions, carrots, celery… Read More Of Potato Pies, Burritos and Panchos
