Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
For those of you who are new(er) to my writings, around eight years ago I started a series of reviews of Asian restaurants of various cuisines. Sometimes I drill down more specifically and do a post like my recent Korean fried chicken one, or sushi, but these were more catch-all posts. I began the series… Read More Chop Suey #30
With the closing up earlier this year of Azit, we lost what I considered to be the best Korean fried chicken place in town. As best I know, we still just have three other spots dedicated to “KFC”. There are certainly other Korean restaurants that offer it on their menu, but it’s not their prime focus.… Read More Chikin, Korean Style
It’s been awhile since I did a dedicated burger post, so what’s new in the burger world here in Buenos Aires? Smashed patty burger places have become all the rage. When last we really looked into them, there were only a few places doing it – Tierra del Nadie, 24th Street, The Flour Store, and Fat… Read More Smash those burgers! Or, not.

So it’s a little surprising that chef Roberto Ottini and I never, to the best of my recall, ran into each other, given that we both spent a good portion of the same period of time working in Italian restaurants there.… Read More Pasta without Pretension
Yes, another week has passed. What did I get up to? Those of you who’ve been around since the beginning, or on and off through the years, might remember my annual attendance at Limud, a day of presentations and lectures on various topics related to Judaism. I’ve been going since 2008, and have only missed a… Read More Sennight #4
Welcome back to the end of a new week and a look back at the things that stood out. I should note, I’m not including everything – you don’t need to see every sandwich or salad I made at home, and if something will be part of another post, like this week’s entry into The… Read More Sennight Glance #2
