"This open-air family-style chain on the outskirts of Medellín serves traditional Paisa comfort food at large wooden picnic tables surrounded by hanging flower baskets. The bandeja paisa is a show-stopping, calorie-rich platter—chorizo, steamed rice, blood sausage, ground beef, fried pork rind (chicharrón), sweet plantains, an arepa, avocado and an egg—with each location offering its own variation. It’s also a go-to for sancocho, the slow-simmered meat-and-starch stew whose broth is often called 'liquid gold'; an ideal version includes potato, corn, yuca, plantain, beef and chicken and is finished with rice, sliced banana, avocado and ají." - ByIsa Zapata
