Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life

Category: Restaurants

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.

The Great Sandwich Hunt 5

When last we left off on our Great Sandwich Hunt we had new winners in the chicken and pork categories. Now, since that post I haven’t received a single suggestion for another “you must try” sandwich – hard to believe that we’ve exhausted all the good ones out there, so come on with those ideas!… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 5

The Long Road to Success

I know you’ve been waiting for this review. I know, because at least once a week I get an e-mail from someone asking “How come you’ve not written up this place? It is, after all, the best restaurant in Buenos Aires.” And, many of my blogging colleagues have long ago written about the place. I’ll… Read More The Long Road to Success

The Great Sandwich Hunt 4

There are just soooo many sandwiches out there to try – and just not enough days in the week to check them all out. But, bit by bit, bite by bite, we’ll get to all the ones you recommended for our Great Sandwich Hunt. One of the top recommendations that rolled in was from friend… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 4

House of the Cross

I have no idea why I’ve not been to this place before. The chef, someone I know, has two other restaurants in town, both of which I’ve been to, and reviewed. But for some reason, until this week, other than once for a cocktail with a visiting friend from New York, I hadn’t set foot… Read More House of the Cross

Steakhouse, No Smoke, Some Mirrors

I’m always a bit wary of invited meals with the attached plan that I’ll end up writing a great review, because, what happens if I don’t like the place? I had that happen last year at the now closed and therefore no longer a concern Club V in Palermo where another food writer friend and… Read More Steakhouse, No Smoke, Some Mirrors

The Great Sandwich Hunt 3

We continue on the search for the best sandwiches in this city. After I mentioned in my side-page for favorite sandwiches that I had yet to find a lamb sandwich of any sort here (other than shawarma or burger), I swiftly received two different recommendations – both in Villa Crespo and only a few short… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 3

A Couple of Expat Classics, In Brief

Certain restaurants and bars in town, probably as in any major city, become expat hangouts. As to why? Often because they offer food or drink that reminds some faction of the expat community of “back home”, often because they actively encourage the community to come spend time and lucre. I try to include them here… Read More A Couple of Expat Classics, In Brief

The Great Sandwich Hunt 2

Picking up on the search for great sandwiches here in BA that I started off on just a couple of weeks ago, another five sandwiches have been sought out, ordered, inspected, ingested, digested, and we’ll stop the train of thought right there. I’m going to start off with a trio of lomitos, the classic steak… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 2
