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.
Okay, so I’m behind, because I just decided not to spend time while on vacation posting on the blog. For those who follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen a good portion of this. After three days in Lima, I headed up to Trujillo, where Henry’s from, to spend a little over a week with… Read More North to the Coast and the Mountains!
Welcome back to Lima! I haven’t been here since mid-2019, pre-pandemic. This is a somewhat spur-of-the-moment visit (I knew I’d come some time between now and early November, as Henry is hanging with his family for two months). Mostly because I really needed to get away and relax for a bit, and particularly from BA… Read More Lima, Round One
This post has come together over a couple of months. I had just decided to do an Italian focused theme, and it took that long to end up with three that I wanted to showcase. Some of it was some mediocre food that isn’t worth mentioning, some of it was that much of my Italian… Read More Italian Triptych
The city and area around Rome is known for three types of pizzas that differ from what I think most of us think of as Italian style pizza, pizza napolitana. The first is the pizza in teglia or pizza al trancio, translating, respectively, as “pizza in a baking tray” and “pizza by the cut (or piece)”, which is almost universally… Read More Roamin’ the Romans
Our usual grab bag of various and sundry. We have sushi, wine bars, a special pizza, and some creative modern Latin American street food. What more do you want out of life? Kanji, Scalabrini Ortíz 1580, Palermo – Hard surface, concrete and metal everywhere, no decor to speak of. Uncomfortable chairs. Unevenly cut pieces of… Read More Bite Marks #104
Time for some meat! A trio of steakhouses that have been on my list for eons. Literal eons. Since the creation of the cow. Or, like, somewhere around a decade. Don’t ask why I haven’t gotten to them. I have hundreds of restaurants on my list to try. Please feel free to fund my trying… Read More The Steak Scrolls IV
I’ve not remotely exhausted the list of contenders for filling out the currently short-filled top five burgers in the city list. But, I have filled in that blank spot, and I’d still venture that at least one of the remaining ones is in danger of losing its position. So let’s start with the ones that… Read More I Coulda Been a Contend-Burger….
Over time, I’ve built up quite the list of burgers. My map has, well, a lot of places, many recommended, many not. And it doesn’t include those places that I’ve reviewed in the past that have closed, since. I’ve tried to maintain a “top five” at the pinnacle. At the same time, I realized recently,… Read More Top Burger Redux
