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.
This is a tale, a short one, of an attempt at burger bliss here in this land of lack. I was clued in to the opening of Dean & Denny’s, Malabia 1591, corner of Honduras – the site of the very short-lived Monarca sandwich shop that just never quite took off – by friend Liza… Read More Fast Burgers
It’s an ever changing thing to answer the question, “What’s your favorite… X?” It’s also probably the most common question I get asked both by e-mail and in person by guests at Casa S.

The dream continues with the next couple of pizzas along the route of the 92 bus. The story at the link above. And, thankfully, a step above the two pizzerias checked out in round 1. Just a block further on, a spot I’ve been to before about five years ago, Caballito, Av. Las Heras 2999.… Read More 92 Pizzas, Stops 3 & 3a
