Having grown up in an Argentine Family, comfort food is Argentine food. Although there aren’t a lot of Argentine places here, it’s certainly better than other places I could be. Over time I’ve collected a list of places of interest – restaurants, bakeries, butcher shops and general stores. I haven’t been to all of these places, but when I have time I’ll add some reviews to those I have. If you’ve got any to add to the list, let me know.
Wikipedia has a pretty good description of the cuisines and pieces that make it up:
