The Roving Ravenous Horde struggles on…. For those of you not familiar with my weekly lunch group, the start of it all, now almost four years ago, was at an unassuming little milanesa spot, La Pulperia del Cottoro, in Boedo. Now, as we approached our 100th outing, I wanted to do something special. But I missed one… Read More Surf ‘n Turf with The Horde
In which we… oh, you know the drill already. Urbano Cocina Americana, Cabrera 5502, Palermo. There’s an attempt to be a sort of all encompassing “American casual food” spot, akin to a vague knockoff on something like Hard Rock or TGIF at this relatively new spot (last year during the pandemic). From an extensive menu… Read More Bite Marks #88
We’re back in South America on The Bread & Soup Project, and in the country on the continent closest to the majority of the US. It’s a country that I’d venture when most Americans think about it, they think in terms of drug cartels and guerilla fighting. And while there’s no question that those form… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #40 – Colombia
So, Henry headed to Peru to visit his family at the end of April. The plan was about eight weeks, but Argentina has once again more or less closed down its borders, this time even to citizens and residents (not 100% shutdown, but pretty close), and it now looks like he may not be able… Read More Dinner at Home, Solo
And, following on my fancy sushi post, a bit of an Asian round-up in my Chop Suey series, which I haven’t offered one up for awhile. There was this pandemic thing, you know? Still, mostly takeout and delivery…. Shanghai Ting’s, Austria 2087, Recoleta – I reviewed this spot a couple of years ago when… Read More Chop Suey #25
Over the last couple of months, a sampling of a few spots that offer a more “high end” sushi experience, currently limited to delivery, but with an eye towards… one of these days, reopening. All of these spots fall into a price range that hits somewhere around 120 pesos per piece in combinations or omakase… Read More Fancy Fish
The first really huge country with so many different cuisines that it’s nigh on impossible to find common ground between them. China. I’m not going to go into the whole geographical part of this – though maybe a couple of notes. It is, perhaps surprisingly, smaller than the United States, not by much, but it’s… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #39 – China
Where are we today? We’re at our neighbors to the west, Chile. It’s a very long country north to south, but a very narrow one east to west, and runs along the Pacific coast of South America, from its southernmost tip to where it meets up with Peru – most of its eastern border is with… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #38 – Chile
