Moveable Feasts is a culinary agenda in which we give you the low-down on this week’s food fairs, workshops, and pop-ups in Buenos Aires. With our current times we’ve given you options that include a whole lot of outdoor dining, but as always make your best judgment on what is “COVID safe.” This week the wizard behind Comer Es La Cuestion, Kevin Daniel, has curated the list of where to go. Follow his account for mouth-watering photos and all the foodie recs that your heart could desire!
What’s up, doc? My name is Kevin and just two weeks before the apocalypse (aka the first round of COVID quarantine) I published my first gastro agenda for La La Lista. I really hope this time around things will end a little differently.
There are so many great events happening this week that you won’t want to miss. I don’t want to jinx it thought. Make up your mind and choose wisely. Anyway, whatever you do, don’t forget this mantra: food is fuel and the best is yet to come.
