I had some bizarre craving for a hot dog (and I was sober!) and you know what, this really hit the spot. I mean... the hot dogs at Costco & Ikea are better, but this was a solid hot dog.

In the past, we have tried the New York Times, The Houston Chronicle, The Kentucky New Era, The Washington Post, and The Reforma, as well as the appetizer of nachos. All were delicious, but our favorite by far is The New York Times. The chocolate-chip cookies, oddly enough, are absolutely delicious too. If you are in the mood for hot dogs, or are looking for an inexpensive, but filling meal, then definitely go to or get delivery from Paperboy!

We had such high hopes for this neighborhood bar, a long subway ride out from where we were staying…read morein the center of Madrid, but it was not going to be a good experience. We got there early, around 7:30 and the bar only had one other table being used, but we sat at the bar so we could hopefully chat it up with the bartender or learn more about their offerings. While the bartender was 'nice' he didn't seem interested in helping us out when we were fumbling with the menu or chewing up the Spanish language while asking questions. The beer taps they had (7) weren't labeled with the same tap names as listed on the board, so that was very confusing, the bartender did take our first order but virtually ignored us until about 45 minutes later when the place was filling up and he was the only one cooking, serving and bartending. There were times when he wasn't busy and was chatting it up with another customer and didn't check on us even when he walked by several times. Yes, we've been to many European establishments before and know customs, etc. but he did wait on and check on other local patrons but never us. We just figured this was a real true neighborhood bar that caters to locals and maybe doesn't prefer to have outsiders (too much trouble?). Anyway, this place could be been great, 7 rotating taps and boasting over 100 bottled beers to choose from. We flagged him down and closed our tab and took a very long train ride back to the city and went El Pedal, which we really had a totally different experience (see new post for that).

The food was amazing and the service was top notch. We ordered a total of 5 different dishes, a…read morepitcher of sangria and a desert. The tapa dishes were all very good. We ordered a salad which was a very unique dining experience because it came in a pot with scissors. You cut pieces off and topped it with chicken and egg plant it was honestly really cool. Next we had a Spanish pancake which was ok I personally wasn't crazy about it but it was good nothing crazy though. We followed this up with the croquets which were small but very tasty filled with ham and cheese. We then had the Potito or Baby Jar. It's egg mixed with truffle and garlic in a small jar. It was one of my favorites so much flavor in this dish. It went really well with the bread they serve. The duck racks were also very good nice amount of different flavors from all the assortment of toppings they bring you. The last tapa we had was the star of the show. The flaming steak was amazing m. The perfectly cooked steak was seasoned to perfection and they literally brought a fire to your table when they cooked it. I was in love with this dish and would definitely recommend it as a must have. For desert the last thing we had was the crema de queso. Definitely an interesting take on desert. This place is amazing one of the best dinner experiences I have had. Thank you Anthony Bourdain!!! Pro tip: this place is kind of hard to find. It's immediately next to a restaurant with a black cat on its front door.

Looking for a late night "snack", (just before midnight) we walked around the corner from our hotel…read moreand discovered La Gabinoteca, a quaint Tapas restaurant featured by Anthony Bourdain on his show "No Reservations". The restaurant was not extremely packed, but it was lively. It took a minute to find someone to seat us, and once we were seated our waiter told us we had about 10 minutes to order before the kitchen closed, although they advertised being open until 2am. We kept wondering why everyone was looking out at our table from the kitchen but no wait staff came over until finally we realized there was a buzzer on our table that we could use to summon the wait staff, get our check etx. When the waitress came over she was friendly and assured us we had enough time to order what we wanted from the kitchen. She also tried to speak English as best she could to explain what the dishes were. We ordered some typical tapas - Ravioli Burrata, Chicken Wings, Croquetas, Gyoza of Ropa Vieja, and Duck Tacos. The tacos were flavorful and the Gyozas were delicious. The other tapas were just ok, didn't stand out any more than others. I did not like the texture of the Ravioli and it is a cold dish so seemed bland to me. I thought the food was good overall, but it did seem a little pricey.

I did miss the classic tomato's (3.5/5) 2) potato omelette w truffles - this is their most famous dish and indeed it was excellent . The truffle does add a lot to our (4.1/5) 3) oxtail lasagna - a very good dish - the meat was cooked to perfection . Could use more tomatoes and cheese though (4/5) We ordered a bit too much for two people , I would stay w 2 to split . Altogether recommended !

Service was awful (our server literally left during our tasting menu & I guess didn't tell anyone to take over our table because we just stopped getting dishes at one point). The vibe is super tacky (the waitress stands next to your table & sings karaoke to you & they bring in club promoters to bother you at your table with invites to events). Given we were traveling in Madrid, I was extremely disappointed in this dinner. The only saving grace was the scallops dish which was interesting & tasty. Positives: atmosphere, tasting menu Negatives: bad food, bad music, bad service, overrated
