Move over Domino's: pizza home delivery is alive and well in Buenos Aires. On a recommendation from one of our tour guides, Sean and I ordered from the most popular pizza home delivery chain, Romario. Choosing from items on the website, and ordering via phone (there was a glitch with the online ordering system at the time), I was told my order would arrive in no less than 40 minutes. And right she was: the intercom buzzed in 30 minutes. Here is what arrived: Two beef and one chicken empanada Pepperoni pizza. Notice how big the pepperoni's are, and how...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/foodcultureblog/aqHD/~4/JJL-fbGlvOw" height="1" width="1"/>

Yelp, Chowhound, Angie's List, TripAdvisor: user-generated community sites are all the rage these days. The sites offer a democratic way for companies to present themselves, as all of the reviews are contributed by regular, everyday people with a passion and an opinion. Here in Argentina, there is a restaurant-review site which is wildly popular: Guia Oleo. Boasting 100,699 reviews from 482,970 users, the site has information for 4,609 restaurants. Not quite the size of Zagat.com or even TimeOut, but the numbers are certainly impressive. Too bad I learned of this after eating at several Buenos Aires restaurants, but I'll create...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/foodcultureblog/aqHD/~4/21jmjE48GE4" height="1" width="1"/>

"I will take you to the best parrilla in the whole city," my brother Sean's friend Fabian told us. The best steakhouse in a city brimming with steakhouses? Clearly, an offer we could not refuse. Especially since Fabian has been working as a Buenos Aires tour guide for more than 5 years. We arrived at Parrilla Peña at around 11:30 pm -- the typical dinner hour for a Friday evening in Buenos Aires. Though Sean and I each had 5 Buenos Aires guide books between us -- Parrilla Peña was in none of them -- which was fine. Sometimes you...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/foodcultureblog/aqHD/~4/r6ogFKxn59w" height="1" width="1"/>

So my brother decided that we needed to celebrate our 40th birthday by visiting Buenos Aires. For me, I saw this as an incredible opportunity to explore a city that has recently become an international foodie destination. I also needed an excuse to practice my Spanish -- and what better opportunity than to read menus and speak to people in restaurants? This and several successive blogposts will detail my culinary adventures large and small in this exciting city. After settling in to the apartment in Recoleta, we decided we needed a quick bite in the neighborhood, then an afternoon nap....<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/foodcultureblog/aqHD/~4/ZCQLnJoowbo" height="1" width="1"/>

via www.nytimes.com ON the BBC’s Saturday morning cooking show, “Saturday Kitchen,” last month, the British chef Silvena Rowe, six feet tall with azure eyes and bleached blond hair streaked with purple to match the cover of her new cookbook, “Purple Citrus &amp; Sweet Perfume,” told the audience she had something to announce. She would shortly be taking over the restaurant in the slick May Fair Hotel in London, and the kitchen would use the exotic recipes from her book. Named for the tart flavor of the purplish sumac plant, “Purple Citrus &amp; Sweet Perfume” contains recipes inspired by the cuisine...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/foodcultureblog/aqHD/~4/eMd1_sFYEBc" height="1" width="1"/>
