Eating My Way Through BA Part 10: A New Experience with Carnes Autóctonas
Have you ever felt like you have discovered the best-kept secret in a city? Have you ever had a dining experience that made you feel like a famous food critic? I have. At El Baqueano. I do not even remember where I read about El Baqueano during my guide book research, but […]
Tarabuco, Bolivia: More Than a Cheap Sunday Market
When I arrived in Sucre, I quickly figured out that the thing to do on Sunday is go to the Tarabuco market. I heard that the fruits and veggies are cheap, and you can buy tejidos (weavings) and those ugly sweaters all the backpackers in Bolivia are wearing. Although it is easy to take a […]

El Mirasol El […]
Eating My Way Through BA Part 7: My Vietnamese Adventure
Traveling in Latin America has made me realize that I have yet to explore many cuisines from around the world. Even though there are plenty of excellent ethnic restaurants in the US, including my hometown of Columbus, Ohio, it never seemed important to me to explore these different flavors and styles of cooking. That has […]
Foto of the Week from … Buenos Aires: Heaven and Hell

It was finished in 1923 and was at the time the highest building in Buenos Aires. The dome contains a lighthouse with 300,000 lights in it and […]
Eating My Way Through BA Part 6: Porteña Gourmet
Do you know what Porteña Gourmet is? (And you do pronounce the “t” in gourmet in Argentina.) Neither did I until I heard about Tomo 1. It is best explained on their website. The concept of “porteño gourmet” is a little tricky, especially for those who believe that something belongs to a tradition only if […]
