Ryles does have a Brazilian carnival event post-carnival on Wednesday. Much better chow to be had at Muqueca, Magnolia’s, Druid, etc. Or go to Sugar Bar at Cafe Belo tonight and watch the real thing on Globo, while having a...

, a northeastern (which has an english section, but I never used it), and an old version of the de Andrade. BTW, a lot of Brazilians learn recipes from “Ana Maria Braga,” so watching the globo program Mais Voce is a...

with broth or water to form a mole sauce. Very inexpensive so it is easy to experiment to find something that you like. Pastries are generally a disappointment – look great, but taste like cardboard. El Globo is a Mexican...

with the usual graphics and voiceovers of a local brazilian production company meant to be aired on TV Globo and/or web sites, not any jornalistic. It did look like they have a charcoal churrasqueira which is a good sign. What are...

-you-can-eat black bean buffets, and big-screen broadcasts of TV Globo don’t quite transport you to Sao Paulo, just close your eyes and follow your nose. The primal smell of rodizio meats – sizzling as they turn on...

chilaquiles (green and red sauces) were quite good. Arrive early if you head there for breakfast since they had run out of their famous bread by the time we got there at around 11 a.m. El Globo – I discovered this chain in...

The chocolate at Zingerman’s is now $17 a pound!! Maybe I will give it to my mom for her birthday that’s coming up. Believe it or not, El Globo used to sell their own chocolate about 8 years ago and it was very good...

Ate at Favela for lunch yesterday. The restaurant is a quick walk from the 30th Ave stop and easy to find. The inside is nice and tasteful, with Globo TV playing on flatscreens behind the bar. The place was completely empty. Went...

the grocery store. Buy the organic blue corn nacho chips – you can really taste the difference! Go to Globo cheese store in Kensington (or a cheese monger at the St. Lawrence Market) and ask them to recommend cheeses for a...

I don’t have my notes readily available but... I have to admit it but it the first place was El Globo (mega-chain). I don’t know how different locations are from each other but it was the one near the square where the...

Looks like you can find them in NYC (the chapulines): http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2008/08/chapulines-huitlacoche-grasshoppers-tacos-huaraches-el-globo-corona-queens-nyc.html Can’t help you with what they taste like. When...

as well. You hear Globo blasting on TV sets as you walk around the residential streets around here. One of the oddest experiences I had here was watching the Brazil vs. France World Cup match back in '04 at Cafe Brazil along with...
