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.
With the closing of Mykonos in Las Cañitas during the pandemic, we lost our only Greek restaurant in town. Some mediocre Greek food started coming out of the small stand, Souvlaki BA, in the Mercado San Telmo this last year or so, but for my palate, it wasn’t worth it. So spotting two new Greek restaurants… Read More The Greek Dilemma
El cheto o la cheta puede ser una persona que vive en una zona acomodada, que suele interesarse solamente por las cosas de marca, que frecuenta lugares “top”, etcétera. Pero tambien puede ser un restaurante caro, un bar para gente más exclusiva, un barrio más coqueto… The cheto or the cheta could be a person who lives… Read More RecoCheta
You know the drill by now. This time around we head out for Lebanese shawarma, Peruvian and Sichuan chicken, and a little pastry. We have highs and lows and in-betweens, all wrapped up in a mere four spots. Where to start? Many of my discoveries come from just walking around. I try to get… Read More Bite Marks #103

We had a bit of a hiatus, culpa mia, when I took most of March off for some… me time… my father passed away at the beginning of the month – long expected due to terminal illness, and so both sad but a relief in some ways.

Rather than backtrack, I went with it, figured it was fated, and headed to a… Read More Eyes on Western Pies
In which we bounce all over the map, gastronomy-wise. This time, serving up six spots – we have two Peruvian, one seafood, one Jewish deli, one vegetarian, and one classic Argentine bodegón. Not in that order. Let us start, as I am wont to do, from the depths and move on to the heights. Oy… Read More Bite Marks #102

It was as glorious as he opined, a sandwich of shredded roasted veal topped with a wickedly spicy tuna tartare and fresh cucumbers all on toasted house-made white… Read More Tuna. Veal. Bread. Go.
I was once, many years ago, accused on social media of “only reviewing restaurants in Recoleta and Palermo”. It was laughable at the time, as anyone who’s spent any time reading these pages or looked at the maps I’ve got linked in the right-hand column of the blog for where to eat various foods. I’m… Read More Pizza in my ‘hood
