"As a Paisa myself, I find the hearty bandeja paisa—served at spots like Restaurante La Bodega in Pereira—epitomizes home: a massive platter built to fuel farmers, with crunchy chicharrón, sunny-side-up eggs, herby chorizo, and ground beef alongside white rice, red beans cooked in a meat broth, caramelized sweet plantains, and avocado; it's insanely filling, so I recommend ordering one for the table when you're ravenous, perhaps after a hike in the region." - Cat Sposato
