permalink I’ve always been a firm believer that adversity is the catalyst for innovation and creativity.  Thus, I present the “backpacker on a shoestring budget burger.”  A homemade hamburger patty, ham, spinach, avocado, cheese, mustard, mayonnaise, and aji on whole wheat bread.  The cost to make this tasty and budget friendly concoction,  US$1.

permalink The Konex in Barrio Once.  Every Monday night hippies, portenos, expats, tourists, and hash brownie vendors gather here to listen to the hypnotizing beats of La Bomba de Tiempo.  The one liter Quilmes and the omnipresent cloud of smoke over the pulsating crowd definitely enhance the experience.

permalink The best late night stop in Palermo to satiate any salty,greasy mystery meat craving after you’ve had one too many pintas of Quilmes.  A Peter’s pancho with mustard, sauerkraut, and spicy picante sauce topped off with papas accompanied with a small Coke.  Satisfying, until you find yourself reaching for that bottle of Immodium.
