Hi,
My name is Paula and I come from Buenos Aires, Argentina, but I live in Canada.
There’s not much I miss from my country, only some food.
But most of the things, I can do myself (I cook a lot).
However, the thing I miss the most (because it’s so good I can’t seem to cook it), is eating at “La casona del griego”. Their fried empanadas are THE BEST.
Don’t expect something fancy, the waitress is one of the cooks and there are just some tables, but they’re always filled with people.
Consider this a tip from a taxista, as it was my father who take me there, and as he drove a cab for more than 20 years =)
It used to be more of a taxistas place, now there are a lot of students, too.
LA CASONA DEL GRIEGO, Espinosa 79, 4431-0984.
I really like your blog =)
Can you recommend me a good pasta place at Buenos Aires?
Thanks and have a great day!
Paula, thanks a lot for the tip and for reading my blog! I’m fairly fanatical about empanadas, so next time I’m in Buenos Aires, I’ll give La Casona a try. For pasta, there are 2 places I like: one is Spiagge di Napoli in Boedo (they have good sorrentinos) and the other is Pippo in Tribunales on Montevideo (I like the vermicelli with pesto and bolognese). Let me know what you think of these places if you try them – both are taxista-recommended
What’s your next city? Do London!!
love your blog btw.
Ooh, London cabbies are legend. I would *love* to bring it to London!!! The question is when. In the meantime, if you know of anyone who might be interested in being a Taxi Gourmet correspondent in London, please let me know…
moin.
you need to check out mustafas gemüsedöner at mehringdamm. by far the best döner in town. i like your blog and i would love to read your opinion about his kebap. ask some people everyoney knows it and some might say they don’t like the hype. but each döner is still made withe passion. i love it.
Hi Charles! Thanks for your kind words about my blog and for the tip. You’re right – Mustafa’s makes very good doener – I wrote about it here: http://www.taxigourmet.com/2010/08/16/up-next-montreal-dispatch-a-guest-adventurer-and-the-best-doner-in-berlin/
Since last summer, though, I feel like the sauces have gotten a little sweeter and it’s lost a little of its magic. I have to give it another taste to confirm my suspicions – I hope I’m wrong!
Hi Layne! What’s your policy on photos? I wanted to use one of yours in my blog-post about your experiment
Full credits, of course, and a link directly to this site. Is that okay?
Hi Mila – It’s really kind of you to ask about using my photo. Go right ahead! And thank you for the shout-out.
Best wishes and happy eating,
Layne
Layne, you are totally wonderful. Thank you for helping me document and showing the world just how truly great taxi driving can be, in addition to the wonderful city of New York. NYC is a great city, great architecture, urban planning, great infrastructure, great pizza, empanadas, jerk chicken, bagels, coffee and more.
I wish you the BEST and i hope to see you soon.
Thanks, Nelson! You’re quite wonderful yourself – I hope you’re having great adventures behind the wheel…and off-duty, too.
All the best from Berlin,
Layne
