"One of the best places to get a patacón is Cachapas y Mas, a colorfully decorated Venezuelan café in Inwood, whose mascot is an ear of corn with a cheerful face peeking out of its husk. Roast pork, shredded beef, and ham and cheese are popular fillings for the crunchy concoction, but my favorite utilizes a bouncy and garlicky chorizo cut lengthwise ($8)." - Robert Sietsema
