"The Dish: Empanada De Cazón Y Plátano We’re not looking to get into an international empanada debate. We’ll leave that between Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela. But not highlighting La Uchireña’s Venezuelan empanadas feels wrong. The empanadas are crispy and soft, like goose down in freshly starched pillow covers. Our favorite is the salty/sweet cazón y plátano. They’re fried to order, so you might have to wait 15 minutes. But that just gives you an excuse to check out the City Market Express next door, where you can buy Venezuelan snacks you haven’t had since your last trip to Caracas." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
