Food Porn Friday

The first Food Porn Friday of 2013 – kind of a big deal. Big shoes to fill, lots of expectation for the 51 weeks that remain. Yikes. So what better way to kick things off than with one of the greatest things you could ever eat in your life? Thankfully it’s something I was able to scarf down just last week when I was in Mendoza visiting Chef Mun‘s new digs at Casarena Bodega. Mun and Cary hosted an incredible surprise dinner for my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary. My only demand? That the spicy tuna on crispy rice make an appearance. I swear it’s made with crack. Thanks again for a most memorable meal! (*more to come on what was definitely one of the greatest dinners of my life, get ready)

Monday Mashup

Because who doesn't love a bunch of French bulldogs?

Happy Cyber Monday everyone! (Wanna cyber? Okthanksbye) I’ll be back in Buenos Aires at the end of the week which is exciting, although that means I’ve been distracted getting lots of things done before I have to head back to Crazytown.

In lieu of an Argie Chefs post today, let’s just throw everything together into a random post filled with goodies (much like I’ve been doing with Thanksgiving leftovers – everything in a bowl, into the microwave, and bam! lunch/breakfast/snack is served).

First up: Two Thanksgiving related posts. I know, I know. Thanksgiving is OVER. Too bad. We’re reliving it, people. Planeta Joy did a play-by-play of dinner at Magdalena’s Party & Pick Up the Fork helped you have a Porteño Thanksgiving.

2nd: Casa Mun has big plans for the new year. They’ll be moving from their original space into a new, posh Soho spot to be shared with Anuva wines. They posted this photo on Facebook to make us all excited and tingly as we await February 2012. Congratulations!

 

 

Tercero: A nice post from Sorrel “Where’s the F-in Fish?” – she chats with English chef Ian Wood – about the difficulty in finding certain food/drink items in the Arg. We can all relate.

Fourth: Andrew Zimmern came to Buenos Aires to film Bizarre Foods? Who woulda thought? I guess eating cow brains and intestines is pretty bizarre. Here’s the link to the YouTube videos. I still find him incredibly annoying. He wears socks with sandals, mmk?
