Our beloved Keenan has recently been featured in a Panama City culinary article. Also taking advice from various Casco Viejo food experts, Keenan reveals his true eating habits and preferences in typical Keenan style. Quoted directly from the source, Keenan favorite dish in Casco Viejo is "Ego's Portobelo Bruschetta and Chicharrones. My pallet is most readily compared to a trash can, but I find these two dishes to be the best dishes in all Casco Viejo. The balance between sour and sweet with the Portobelo Bruschettta and the crunchy and spicy of the Chicharrones is heavenly (that was my Anthony Bourdain analysis). A more appropriate Keenan Analysis is that “I will order this plate every time I go there” Read the rest of the article here.

 During my mothers annual visit to Panama, we decided to tour the restaurants of Casco Viejo. I enlisted the help of some foodie friends to guide us in the right direction. One of the restaurants not recommended to us was La Scena. So, on my mothers last night we were surprised to find a fine dining Mediterranean restaurant that we had no idea existed. For that reason, we gave it a shot.

It struck me recently that one of the real social indicators of development and progress is restaurants. Look at the dining scene in a neighborhood and it's likely to tell you a great deal about ethnicities, styles, incomes, and economic development within. Casco Viejo, with its emerging, or in some cases re-emerging infrastructure, has seen a boom in restaurants over 2009. Some of these restaurants will make it, others will fall by the wayside. It can be interesting to note though, how characteristics in these new haunts translate to the district's progress as a whole.

 I can remember the first time I ever tasted a pineapple because it was also the same day I first tried a pickle. Not unlike belatedly stumbling on a popular sitcom, I became immediately addicted to pineapple and tried to introduce it to anyone I could. It sounds silly and hopeful, trying to introduce someone to the pineapple, but when you're young, ignorance tends to be nothing more than blissful.

Just the other day, I decided to bypass my daily sit-down lunch meal in an effort to more acquaint myself with the street food of Casco Antiguo. Unlike Manolo Caracol or Ego, the street food in this neighborhood is not served on a bright white napkin. But in reality, it was the shady fruits and shadowy snacks that I was after.
