Thursday is "Jueves" in Buenos Aires

Attention: Fans of Vegetarian Food throughout this great meat-eating nation ...and all you meat-eaters, too! 

In these dark days of feedlot Argentine beef, it´s treemendous to know where you can get great and imaginatively prepared plants.  If you don´t already know about Jueves a la Mesa ...you will.

You know why?  Because It´s Good to Eat Plants and they're good to eat to eat at Jueves a la Mesa.

The San Telmo puertas cerradas has been been keeping their kitchen warm through the efforts of Meghan Elizabeth Lewis and her cooking partner, Sofia Madriz for almost two years

...and THIS Thursday the 16th, they will be newly ensconced in their brand-new digs just a few blocks from the original location.  The new joint on the ground-floor of a beautifully gut-rehabbed old San Telmo petit hotel will feature a full bar of your favorite quaffs and fresh juices.

The menu changes every Thursday and this Thursday, the 16th, will feature a hit that "Jueves" fans request again and again:

Millet Cornbread with Lentil Pate and Carmelized Onions; Sweet Potato and Peanut Curry with Yamani Rice; Beet, Carrot, and Banana Salad with Homemade Yogurt; Homemade Chocolate; Fresh Fruit; Rose Scented Almonds; and Ginger tea.  A menu known for its pleasing spiciness!
A glass of wine is included in the $120 peso price ...and other drinks and juices are available at the bar.  (Folks, that's down-right underpriced in Buenos Aires.)

 Get your reservations here.  Hey!  Do 'em a favor ...don´t ask them, "can I make reservations for Wednesday night?"  Jueves is only open on ...wait for it ...Jueves (Thursday)! 

I´ve known Meghan for over a year and she´s one of those industrious expats that I love to love!  She came to cooking vegetarian food in Buenos Aires back in November of  2010 through her involvement with yoga:

I started cooking for large groups a few years ago for MoonLight Yoga, an event hosted by BuenaOnda YOGA (my other business). The diners were always so happy with the meals and I realized that I could do something about the lack of spicy vegetarian food in Buenos Aires. The menus are planned to avoid white flour and refined sugars, and turn plants into tempting, hearty meals. Carnivores and omnivores leave as satisfied as their vegetarian table-mates!
See you there this Thursday at the inauguration of what possibly is the best vegetarian dining room in Buenos Aires Argentina ...this Thursday at 8:30!

...when you come back for more, don´t be surprised to see me and My Missus* chowing-down on all the lovely plant goodness.

(*I could tell you about how little meat my cattle ranchin' wife and I eat ...but you wouldn´t believe it.)
