Mr. Ho, Paraguay 884, Centro. This is a sort of redux, a revisit, but not exactly. Those of you who’ve followed by various Korean adventures may remember, a couple of years ago, our visit to Mr. Ho in Floresta, which resulted in a flat “Ho No”. Now, I make no claims to having influenced this… Read More Ho & Cho, Korean Adventures
A trio of Japanese spots, revisited. More or less. Tori Tori, Ecuador 1175, Recoleta. First reviewed back in February 2017, this, being the city’s only yakitori bar, is one of my “go to” spots for… yakitori. Coming up on three years, I thought it might be nice to bring it back to your attention…. I almost always… Read More A Japanese Redux
I almost feel like this is one of those dishes that I should go back and do one of my vegetable explorations of, but then I’d have to come up with like three other carrot-centric recipes. And this one took some work all on its own – it’s been “in process” for almost a year.… Read More Textures of Carrot
A verrrry interesting selection this time around. Then again, when isn’t it? Boticario, Honduras 5207, Palermo – Sometimes (sometimes?) things get away from me. A mere 94 weeks ago… I happened by this cool looking apothecary display in a window in Palermo. I posted it to Instagram – didn’t know what it was, there… Read More Where to Eat (& Drink) #7
I really need to get moving on this project or I’m still going to be working my way through the S’s when I’m 90…. On to our next country, Bulgaria. North of Greece and Turkey, south of Romania, east of Macedonia and Serbia, and the east coast borders on the Black Sea. Not surprisingly, its cuisine… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #29 – Bulgaria
The juggernaut that is nikkei cooking, a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian, continues apace, as does an upscale, modernized version of chifa cooking, a fusion of Chinese and Peruvian. Now, most of that is because of the large Japanese and Chinese descent population in Peru. But now and again (like every week), it occurs to me that… Read More CauSiamese
A beautiful day for a meander through Villa Urquiza… with the jacarandas in bloom…. Just Stuff It! But, one needs to stop for lunch; or maybe that was the reason for traveling twelve kilometers to the northeast; and heading to Vacarellos, Av. Albarellos 2602 in the first place? I was here for two things…. the much touted…… Read More Where to Eat #6
When I get five requests after a weekend to share the recipe for one or another dish, I know it was a hit. And this one came together out of a combination of some things I had the week before that I wanted to use up, and a little internet sleuthing for ideas. What we… Read More Squash, Corn, & Potatoes – Let’s Make Soup!
