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.
With my recent delving into omakase bars, I haven’t really talked about the concept. First off, while the four experiences I wrote up recently were a specific type of curated, piece by piece kind of omakase at the hands of the sushi chefs, that’s just one approach, and usually the more expensive sort. The word itself really… Read More A Different Sort of Omakase
Continuing on my weekly outings to check out the new omakase spots in the city. There are only a few more, though I probably won’t get to one a week over the upcoming weeks. We shall see! You wouldn’t even know that Kuda Omakase, Paraguay 3521, Palermo, was there, unless you were looking for it. There’s no… Read More Omakase Duals, Round 2
What’s up for this round of the infamous Bite Marks? Another stab at Detroit style pizza? A burger? Shawarma? Spanish tapas? Italian food? Why yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes! A local friend sent me a message, asking if I’d heard about this place offering Detroit style pizzas. At first, I thought he was talking… Read More Bite Marks #96

Not that there were never omakase menus before, for the first decade I was here, we would go to Yuki, the first, and longest running sushi bar in the city, which unfortunately closed in 2016. And we have… Read More Omakase Dual Duel
I just can’t keep up with this guy. Dante Liporace, for those of you who’ve been with me for these years of culinary adventure, we first met at Moreno, a good thirteen years ago. I was impressed with his restraint in the use of molecular gastronomy. He focused on flavor and good cooking, and the modernist… Read More Keeping Up with Dante
We’re getting there. Almost a hundred of these Bite Marks columns! And jeez, coming up on three thousand blog posts! Maybe when I hit those two benchmarks I’ll take a break for a little while. Probably not. On to our casual eats of the last couple of weeks…. El Bodegón de la Calle Ayacucho, Ayacucho… Read More Bite Marks #95
It has been many moons since we checked in on Germán Martitegui. Last we saw, he was helming his half eponymous Tegui restaurant to much acclaim around the globe. Or perhaps as the “bad boy” judge on Masterchef Argentina. Towards the end of last year, Tegui closed, I’m assuming from lack of business as the pandemic… Read More Veg-Edibles!
Quite the grab-bag of places this time around, and a whopping six of them! So, settle in…. Nah, I’ll keep them brief and mostly let the photos do the talking. Let’s start “simple” and move on…. La Parri, Dr. José Modesto Giuffra 341, San Telmo (not to be confused with La Parri out on Av.… Read More Bite Marks #94
