Pincho of the Week: Foie al Pedro Ximenez

Pincho of the Week: Foie al Pedro Ximenez

By on October 21, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

It’s been a while since I’ve highlighted a new Pincho of the Week on my blog! I love the pincho and tapa culture around Spain, especially when it comes to trying out new and often wild taste combinations. I try to always try something new and different, like kangaroo and avocado or pineapple and shrimp [...]

Pincho of the Week: Setas

By on September 16, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

The other day my Spanish friends brought me to another classic pincho bar on the famous Laurel street in Logroño. Quite literally a hole in the wall, Bar Cid is easy to miss and I hungrily hop from my favorite champi mushroom pincho to my favorite brochette with goat cheese, Spanish ham and raspberry sauce. [...]

Pincho of the Week: Zorropito

By on September 2, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

If Spain knows how to do one thing well, it’s sandwiches. There are so many types and varieties of sandwiches to be found in Spain, I can’t even begin to name them all. Bocadillos, bocata, un sandwich, montaditos and bocatitas are just to name a few. Spain keeps it simple when it comes to sandwiches, [...]

Pincho of the Week: Timbales

By on August 19, 2012 in Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

Logroño’s pincho scene hasn’t changed too frequently since I arrived last September. Comforted by familiar faces and dishes, the infamous Laurel street bursting with pincho bars that seem unchanged for decades. Change comes slowly in Spain, if it comes at all, something I both love and hate here. Around San Juan and Laurel, there are [...]

Pincho of the Week: Entrecot de toro

By on August 12, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

I first mentioned one of my new favorite pincho back in March when Logroño was named the 2012 Gastronomic Capital of Spain. They held a Semana del Pincho (Pincho Week) where all the bars in Logroño highlighted the best they had to offer, and it was when I first really started to check out calle [...]

Pincho of the Week: Entrecot

By on August 5, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

There is a fab new trend hitting pincho bars in Logroño! I’m in foodie heaven! Instead of serving up a little portion of something yummy skewered on a slice of bread like many of the traditional pinchos around town, many of the newer gastro-bars offer small portions of really delicious dishes combined with a small [...]

Pincho of the Week: Stuffed Peppers

By on July 27, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

source In Logroño the variety of pinchos available can be somewhat daunting and overwhelming. With dozens of bars to chose from, where to begin? However, I have always been a half glass full kinda girl, so I prefer to think of it as so many new pinchos to try! You can find everything here, from [...]

Pincho of the Week: Kangaroo

By on June 10, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

I had been hearing for a while about a little bar in Logroño that serves up a kangaroo pincho. Um, what? I didn’t even know you could eat that! I am a strong believer in trying anything once, and coming from a family of chefs, there are few foods that freak me out. I’ve eaten weird [...]

Pincho of the Week (Bilbao): Crepes de Queso

By on June 3, 2012 in Food, Pincho of the Week, Pinchos, Spain

Source I just got home from visiting my friend Liz in Bilbao (from Liz en España) for the weekend. After reading all about the Basque Country (Pais Vasco) on her blog and hearing about some new pincho bars she’s discovered, I had to see (eat) for myself. We all met up with Lauren of Spanish Sabores who was in town for the weekend [...]
