"Celebrated Colombian chef Juan Manuel Barrientos adopts flavors from the beaches of Cartagena and corners of the Amazon jungle at his latest U.S. restaurant (the first is in Miami). A 50-seat dining room at La Cosecha market serves a la carte items like shrimp empanadas to a cut of bison cooked in a salt-lined cloth, served with bok choy and chimichurri ($7 to $42). An intimate 18-seat setup sends out 10- or 21-course menus rooted in ancient Colombian cuisine ($178 and $289 per person). Book a seat here." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
