"On weekends, Bogotanos like to head out to the countryside for a bit of fresh air and a long lunch. Thirty minutes outside central Bogotá, El Tambor is sort of an upscale piqueteadero, casual roadside restaurants specializing in grilled meats served by the platter. Al fresco seating consists of large wooden stumps and acres of grass for reclining while you nibble on a feast of morcilla, chorizo, grilled beef and pork, smoky grilled corn, guacamole, sweet plantains, yuca, potatoes, arepas, chicharrones, chunchullo (fried beef small intestine), longaniza, and lots of beer to help plow through it all. There are three locations, but the La Calera branch is by far the most popular." - Liliana López Sorzano
