4 FRESH NEWS DAILY Our coverage includes: Food Interviews Beer Features Wine Updates Coffee Profiles Travel Openings Events Calendar The work that Como Sur has done has changed the journalistic vision towards gastronomy. First, because they've been able to get into the heart of the kitchens, the cooks, and the countries they cover. Second, because they've broken the paradigm of the traditional gastronomy journalism that not only creates false interests, but also shows friendship only at the time of publishing. Como Sur reports with passion and certainty on what's coming throughout Latin America. Fer Rivarola Chef / Owner El Baqueano Buenos Aires, Argentina
