Welcome to our new section!! Written by SAE food columnist Layne Mosler, this small weekly segment will introduce you to some of the undiscovered culinary wonders of BA! For more taxista-inspired food finds, visit Layne's blog at www.foodquests.blogspot.com
According to taxista Antonio, the owner of Albamonte restaurant used to sell racehorses. “On the weekends after the races, his friends would go eat there. They always wanted something to eat as soon as they sat down. They couldn’t wait for the pasta to cook.¨ So one day a waiter went into the kitchen and asked if anyone knew how to make pizza. After a bit of practice, the cooks at Albamonte began turning out what is arguably the best thin-crust pizza in Buenos Aires. After fifty years, they’re still going strong. You may have a tough time keeping your silverware in your hands after you taste this close to perfect pie – somehow, the dough manages to stay crispy beneath generous helpings of mozzarella and super-fresh tomato sauce. Go for dinner and go early - even on a Tuesday, the place fills up with pizza lovers in the know.
