What To Do For Frostbite On Tongue

Itamae Sushi Drift Kansas Cucumber

Drift is a restaurant that is on Dardo Rocha 2290, Martínez, between Bogota and Caracas streets, opposite the Hippodrome of San Isidro.


inevitably pass the car driving on National Unity (or so-called Thames) and do not turn your head to the incredible open space Drift. While I could not see the last name of the place while driving, just the third or fourth time that happens I decided to get out of the avenue, bordered by Dardo Rocha to get a clearer picture and satisfy my curiosity. A simple glance at 20 kilometers per hour in the car were enough to confirm that drift would be my next restaurant to visit.


Last Friday was the day chosen to drift and as we know the car pretty loaded, with 20:30 and with a travel bag in the trunk, do not hesitate to park outside the restaurant on Dardo Rocha where security was that would not surprise me with some broken glass in my car, the "rag" (Like all Dardo Rocha, from the Panamerican Highway to Santa Fe Avenue) is not extortionate, it is polite and greets everyone with a smile. And parked the car, it was essential stop on the sidewalk to watch the entrance, the design of the garden with its pots playing impeccably placed lighting, great open space of this stud and finally understand that recycling is actually drift (and simple view) a "multi-space" as its website states. You walk slowly when you come to see the sides of the place and how, what were stalls for horses, hoping transformed to accommodate a business. Suddenly the restaurant appears like an island in the middle of this giant stud with big and tall windows, creating in us a desire to get pushy and know how it would be in that big bucket glaze, filled with warm lighting and browns against the cold that shone from the large windows.


just entered, I saw quickly that large windows are not flashed the terrible cold that made last Friday night and were perfectly thermally insulated, while managed to avoid a separation between outside and inside, as if we were to eat in the open . Ceiling height also highlighted and the center of this large cube is lined with bottles of wine at rest, leaving the visual fully charged before leaving the space empty the place, truly a delight to the eye. Arguably Drift has a unique cutting edge design, incredible quietly could be in the heart of Berlin.


- "It's like being inside a 3D Studio rendering" I thought aloud.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: 3D Studio is a design program in three dimensions that is used in architecture and design).


At the same time we enjoyed the place we waited to be received, and receiving no or a "hello" or a "good night" of the three girls standing at the entrance (which we looked for a moment and turned to continue talking), we assumed that "Wave" of the place is to choose the table on their own. We walked around the place, slowly, enjoying the fine details in the decor (which are great) and we noticed that many of the tables had the note "RESERVED" was when we looked at the girls and the bar to establish some form of communication (at least some eye contact) and only receive the gaze of the three girls who were standing where they were watching and waiting for us to sit.
- "How odd that nobody comes with many tables and reserved Do you see a small sign that is not?" She asked.
said and done, after about 5 minutes Drift have entered, we find a table without notice.


Just as we are preparing to give strength in front of the knee ligaments to sit, we trotted on one of the girls. The same, with the most contemptuous tone, misplaced, rude and arrogant as possible, just like that of a hysterical schoolgirl appearing on a teen novel Argentine air channel, tells us in excessive volume:
- "The guys are fully booked, no place, it's all busy "
I was stunned. I looked to her face and had a stunning surprise. Look at both the girl and found that watched us face: "Do not you understand what I mean?". The girl was missing only chewing gum with his mouth open as she looked and already completed the circle. After the sentence is even closer to the table with the intent to re-sort that had never messy, touched or made, as if we were to pollute the magical universe of the table while we stopped and we watched it can not alter word . Were about 10 seconds of silence and amazement when it appeared a gentleman with a beard, about thirty years and a very nice voice.
- "Good evening, we are with the whole restaurant booked, I apologize but we have a table for them," said the Lord as the girl's face looked "You see that I have right? "The gentleman was a blessing, thank God appeared at that time


No words to say with amazement we went to the door, open us and ... we


Walking a few meters, I wondered if I was as nervous as she, to which I replied:
- "I do not bother me that all tables are occupied and I have to go at all, we came without reservations, is completely understandable. I do not understand is how there is no receptionist at the door to greet you, or because these three girls who saw us and came to get us at least to say "hello" or ask if we had reservations. "
- "And the girl? Not that we were badly dressed, "I asked again.
- "The tone of the girl was the most disgusting what happened to that woman? Was having a bad day? I do not understand the need to treat so repulsive, it was insulting you seen as moving his shoulders when he told us? The funny thing is that I hear about and can not believe what we just passed. We take just as rats when with a little education and common sense told us the situation we were leaving the house and wanting to return. What's more, we stayed with curiosity !!!".
- "The truth is that I feel very bad, this girl left me with a very bitter feeling. "


I turned, between the restaurant and to top it off on me a blonde lady posing as the receptionist and asks me if I had reservations.
- "Where were you last twenty minutes?" Ask and very upset.
I told him what happened, I recommended to do something with this girl derogatory, leave a card DINING IN BUENOS AIRES recommending you go to the page on Sunday and left. I was too nervous to have a normal conversation.


We were very very bad, unnecessarily altered. We live from restaurant to restaurant and we have spent host of both pleasant and disastrous situations, what happened in drift was as site design: cutting edge! The fact that the manager or owner can not control his receptionist for 20 minutes at the most important hours of the night and engaged a girl like the one we attended, I generated a terrible rejection of return.


not recommend going to drift. I personally do not want to go back again.

Underarm Wax Strips Not Effective



Kansas is a great American restaurant left on Avenida del Libertador 15089, Acassuso, just to the left of where the street ends Peru. There's another branch in Buenos Aires, on Avenida del Libertador 4625 near Palermo Hippodrome.


Right at 8 pm began to arrive to text messages urging him to go eat Kansas ... there are times when a friend with much craving it can be incredibly persistent, last night was the perfect example. Message is, message is and obviously we decided to 21 hours in San Isidro since it is well known that in the branch of the racetrack's food is too salty and not as tasty as in Zona Norte.


ends up a little before 21 and since the traffic light and freedom Peru saw a large movement at the entrance of both cars as well pituca ladies waiting for a table. Familiar with the situation, go over the main entrance and enter the corner of Ricardo Güiraldes and Avenue, convenient parking and free valet parking assistance. We entered the restaurant and noticed the classical congestion there are always people in Kansas: a lot of noise, a lot of chaos and all waiting for a table and even queuing to sign up with the troubled employee who repeated and repeated the same sentence.
- "There is a time delay ... If you want a smoking logged in the timeout is over. "
There was no need to realize that the bar was our only choice and chance oh two gentlemen next to us just withdrew, leaving two spaces ready to be ... caught! Having launched in the stools before the incredulous eyes of our new neighbor at the bar, we are fast approaching a bartender with a menu of drinks and other food leaving us free to choose. We knew we were going to eat and drink, but that did not stop to see the irresistible menu of drinks in Kansas, so varied and interesting, inviting you to read and reread the available options. He approached the bartender and ask for some nachos with chile (Or all) to share, along with the application of Tabasco sauce. Take a Caipirovska Absolut and a Negroni (also known as Coloradito). Kansas also provides other options of food choices, such as potatoes skins potato skins that are to lead, well salted with cheddar and chopped bacon over roast, the chicken tenders (they are rare but spectacular) and Spinach Dip which is a pretty big dip with spinach and cheese with a crispy dough to serve (s Light). I tried all the options bar and attest that it is the best bar food (finger food) I've eaten so far.


Look around me and saw again the gathering of the Kansas bar. Most are several groups of 3 women around cuarentilargos, produced to the smallest detail (with the rule that there is always one with leather pants) and chatting flirtatiously while each one, separately, watches and analyzed each man sitting in that bar. The men, also age groups and varied, high voice chatting as they ate, drank and often emit a raspy laughter and fun. On the other hand the inevitable young lovebirds eating the same dish, very close to each other and in complete silence, and finally us back to the main hall and talking quietly. Mess of noise that was in that bar! A true chaos actually came from the people waiting to sit and not the guests who were seated on their stools.


began immediately with the drinks being my first shift Negroni. I was impressed with the measures made them "eyeball" the speed with which the bartender mixed the campari, gin and martini rosso was unparalleled in my own way of preparation: the inevitable and necessary meter, my patience for the measures are correct and my slowness in the process ... I began to fall the tears of shame. The result? A PERFECT Negroni, with both mandatory and orange slices into a smile of satisfaction from their maker. On the other hand, caipirovska is not rocket science, only pieces of citrus were implemented in preparing a subtle lemon mixture (also known as limoncinhos) with common lime did not cause any problems and it was a perfect shot, as expected from the bar Kansas. They


nachos topped with two bowls of acid in a double cheese and immense warmed plate. On the one hand the known beans, on the other tomato sauce and cheddar cheese all covered in an intense and dangerous temperature. It's a huge plate of 12 cm in height and 25 cm. in diameter ... I mean that neither is still hungry and the visual is as rewarding as the aftertaste on the palate. Many think it is overkill but I do not think so, it is a fun and accurate amount for two people, leading to lack of protocol (eye, manners are never lost) and the possibility of a smooth and uninterrupted conversation. We asked for Tabasco sauce to give it spice, so if you ask the nachos, both at the tables and in the bar, remember that you have this great option. It is likely that it's time to give your hands and not upset the imminent supply of ingredients, so I suggest you ask at the outset a small covered dish to keep some dignity over dinner. Nachos is a dish durable, like a great ending chopped accompanying more than one drink per person, which is why I recommended to me a friend to try the Tom Collins in Kansas: The same preparation differs from the orthodox and is very soft, made with Bombay gin (a real success for sweet drink with gin), and soda (no soda), two cherries at the bottom and topped with sugar.


As you can see, the Kansas Bar is a fun, lively, interesting and very funny, great to go with friends to relax. Attention is impeccable and something really taken into account by management, as well as cleaning and hygiene of the place. They also have the possibility of Happy Hour where significantly lower prices and usually to the 19:30 pm, depending on the season. The dishes are delicious and tasty bar. The drinks are spectacular, I did secure my place in Kansas to try new drinks, alcoholic mixes and blends.


Price? $ 88 pesos in total without tip

Cause Ofhole In Heart For Newborn



Cucumber is a very popular restaurant for hamburgers and hot dogs that is on Avenida del Libertador 14475 in Martinez, right at the intersection with Pueyrredón, Partido de San Isidro


Being a Thursday night there was very little competition in Cucumber, strange due to his constant patrons present at any hour and every day of the week. Pueyrredón parked on between Joseph C. Peace and Freedom, 50 meters from the restaurant for not having to leave the car on the avenue. Cucumber actually has a small, attractive park and had a spot available, but the habit of ending in the same spot as always. Keep in mind that there are two rags to "manage" the place and sometimes (not always) get heavy, with a strong loud voice they are placed and returns to peace.


There were tables outside but the cold overshadowed the desire to dine outdoors, and thus we get the classic scent in the air that is mat: hamburgers and hot dogs instead trademark. No one greets customers (not really needed in such a place) and one is decided by the place I love them. We chose to dine on the ground floor because the floor is usually full of very young (15 to 18 years) and noisy. We received a simple table by the window overlooking the Avenida Libertador. He approached a young man offering two letters that were of no avail as we knew in advance the order, 2 promotions burger, no onions, a coke and sparkling water. The good thing about this restaurant is that, although it has high prices for the area, has sales of hamburgers and hot dogs, which include fries and drink for only $ 26 and a quality in food that pleases even the most demanding.


removed the boy I observed the remodeling done a few years since the last times I had lunch sat outside because of the good weather of summer and not go to meet. The tables follow the ancient tradition and the same format: without a cloth, wood with formica and jars of ketchup, mayonnaise and savor inevitable for a burger. They put a big bar that faces the street and kept the tiny kiosk at the side of the box that sells cigarettes and sweets (something really practical). The windows are large and showy, the south still retains the old style and color that create the walls to achieve enlightenment as such I feel like when I was a kid with my family, the spirit of the place is not lost.


The food always comes quickly in this restaurant and usually at the same time drinking, a young man presenting with all the dishes in one hand and drink in the other, along with large glasses that should be part of another journey by the employee. Said and done we decided to have dinner. Cucumber burger is homemade and taste great so far has failed to be emulated by anyone, no fat, or cartilage, or solid of indeterminate origin, and is presented in an advanced cooking. Toast, like potpourri but Figazza way, is spongy on the inside and with a yeasty smell delight. Lettuce and tomatoes are nothing special, but the onion is passed through hot water and not boiling, preserving flavor and eliminating the itching that generates, something perfect. Potatoes ... cucumber fries are spectacular, this is the secret weapon of the place, although they are quite greasy, are hand-cut and well big, crisp and in good quantity.


As you can see, it is reasonable to the reputation of this restaurant and it's understandable the number of customers and regulars who have about the quality of their food is incomparable even to be simple and low variety. Never heard anyone complain about the burger cucumber, those who are sensitive to the consumption of beef, cucumber and I recommend that cooking the meat is subjected to strong and effective. For those who want to order a hot dog I recommend you ask in the promotion and come with cheese as it is a compulsory course for this type of taste. There is also a salad bar for those unfortunate people who are dieting. Ue Hayq note that covered and do not charge delivery. Another important fact is that if they eat at tables outside the various care for ill and that there is enough young and care of them becomes zero. That if, even now I still can not decide whether the burger anise or not, if you can find out please do not hesitate to tell me.


Price? $ 52 between two people not including the tip
