Plato Putas is all about spreading the holiday cheer, especially when it’s related to food. We’re asking some of the most beloved chefs and food lovers about the best gifts to give…and get.
Best Kitchen Gadget to Give
Mortar and Pestle. It’s fun, useful, convenient, versatile, and you get to make noise and bash away at stuff. Who doesn’t like that?

President’s Choice General Tao Chicken, that is. If you’re a regular on Plato Putas, then you know one important fact. We love potato chips. From the downright obscure Squirrel flavour by Walkers Crisps, to the more snooty, upscale line of Popchips, we’re potato chip fanatics and not ashamed to admit it.
No chopsticks required! Soy, chili, garlic and ginger in a potato chip. How do they do it?

With it’s large decaying metal doors and caged windows it’s no wonder I never gave this unassuming restaurant a second look. I’ve walked by Moto, a wedge-shaped, speak-easy style restaurant, for the past year and finally decided to go in. Whoa, was I in for a treat!
I had no idea what was on the other side, but once I was in I was completely blown away.

$2 desserts! Let me repeat that again, $2 desserts!! Sure, it’s tiny, in a shot glass, but there’s something ingenious about this. If you’re stuffed, you still have room for a sweet ending to your meal. If you were smart and left room for dessert, you can have two or three.
Wanna know where to get these little delights? Read on cause there’s also eight different kinds.

About five months ago, I wrote a post dissecting my dining experience at La Esquina. To sum it up, I basically concluded my preference was to skip the sit down cafe-style restaurant and instead head over to the taqueria for quick and easy fish and avocado tacos. But you know what? I think I spoke too soon and may have to renege on my previous conclusion after experiencing an unexpected, delightful brunch at the suggestion of a friend.
