"This Colombian spot’s empanadas, morcillas, and beefy pots of sancocho bring a pop of excitement to Edgewater’s forest of glassy residential towers. Just know that they're lying when they tell you the picada feeds two—it actually feeds three plus a child after a relay race. Still, it’s a nice surprise when the steaming pile of chicken, morcilla, steak, chicharron, and fries arrives at your table and you can already envision your leftover dinner plans for the next week. Despite being surrounded by expensive seafood towers and rental units, Palo Quemao serves giant meat platters for $22, and cauldrons of beef soup for $15. Edgewater desperately needs a place like this." - mariana trabanino
