Time to get back into the swing of nibbling my way through casual joints around the city. Let’s dive right in, and I think, from least interesting to most will be the way I work my way through this round. Takeout and delivery only Mexican has been available for a bit from Chiwa’s, Gorriti 3579… Read More Bite Marks #21
A few years back I was on a bit of a whirlwind trip through various Mendoza vineyards that included a day spent in San Rafael, in the south, along with David and Rachel Cane, two wine, food and travel journalists from California. We were flown from Mendoza to San Rafael in a small, four-seater Cessna,… Read More San Rafael, Wines to Taste
Continuing on the ever expanding quest for burger nirvana in Buenos Aires… I’m not sure why, but I somehow or other pictured DelToro Burgers, Bernardo de Irigoyen 366 in Monserrat, as some sort of huge, bustling, family oriented spot.
