This week, The Splendid Table has an alternative Italian destination: instead of heading across the Atlantic to Rome, head south to Buenos Aires. Journalist Rich Lang has a report on Argentina, the country virtually over-run with Italians. Jane and Michael Stern have found the paragon of waffles at The Fresco Cafe in Portland, OR; cheese monger Steve Jenkins wants us to head to Portugal for our next cheese vacation; Sally Schneider, author of A New Way to Cook, wants us to reconsider the anchovy; Chris Kimball of Cook's Illustrated Magazine has the low down on the safety of non-stick cookware; and we see a new trend in affordable wine auctions in New York City.
