Although the last couple of years here in Buenos Aires has seen a widespread bloom of “Neapolitan style” pizzerias, there are plenty of other pizzas out there. And who’s to say that one style is the be all and end all? Certainly not me, given that my tastes run to the extremes of cracker thin… Read More Crust Differential
The now, more or less, monthly round-up of spots worth checking out! Pizzas, once again, will get their own post, coming up shortly. Outdoor dining continues, and as the temperatures begin to cool off in early fall, most of that is happening at lunchtime when it’s more pleasant to sit outside. We’re still not at… Read More Bite Marks #86
Once again we are off to lands far away as we continue on The Bread & Soup Project. This time, we’re off to central west Africa and the Republic of Cameroon.

A year ago, almost to the day, we had a Horde lunch at El Patio de Mingo, a fun steak-heavy outing. Wandering around… Read More Pizza ‘Round Table
Just a look back at this month and home-eats, some of which were the products of online classes that I’m offering now! This is not, by any remote stretch, all we ate this month at home, just the ones that for one moment stood out long enough for me to snap a photo and think… Read More February Fry-Ups

The box tells you the story. “Honesty, madness, and breadcrumbs” is not the first slogan that a milanesa restaurant would typically go for. “If you saw a butterfly or a bat on the spot, you are sane.
