As always at this time of year we’re, as “they” say, “busting our hump” with dinners left and right – both public and private events. So I may give a few of these over the next week or two some short shrift, but at least I wanted to share some food porn with you… Radishes… Read More When Life Gives You a Palometa…
It’s going on two years since I wrote up my much referenced post on the local freshwater fish around here. At the time I had plans to continue on and cover the various ocean fish in the area as well, plus offer up various ways of preparing all the different catch o’ the day that… Read More Little Fish in the Ocean So Blue
We’re going to use the wayback machine today, sending us hurtling through space and time to San Telmo, cerca March 2008. My one and only visit to the much touted Café San Juan, Av. San Juan 450, San Telmo, 4300-1112. At the time I really didn’t like the place much. The food was okay, the… Read More Food sin ‘Tude

If anything,… Read More South by Southeast
No, not cacerolazo, the pot banging method of protest here, but, a “little casserole” – and my favorite dish of this past weekend’s menu. First off, we had a private catering affair for 15 folk in Palermo, where we picked out a menu from past dishes – a ceviche mixto, a gazpacho blanco, eggplant-ricotta filled… Read More Cazuelita!
This is going to be an odd start to a restaurant critique… One of the things that few people except those who’ve known me personally a long time know about me is that I’ve got a background in science. My college years were filled with courses in math, physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and psychology. I… Read More Restaurant Experiment
Before we get to the meat of the post, so to speak, for those who didn’t see it, Casa SaltShaker got selected by CNN Travel as one of 10 great restaurants in Buenos Aires! Strangely, out of the other 9, I hadn’t heard of 3 of them and have only been to 3 others… hmm.… Read More November’s Passed
