Maybe about once a week, the right side of my brain starts to twinge. My stomach growls. I begin to look around nervously. I begin to drool. People speaking to me begin to sound like that teacher from Snoopy. My IQ drops 10 50 points. I nervously check my watch and realize it's almost time ... Read More

It's probably noticeable that I've been on a Latin kick. I eat Latin food about 2-3x a week now. I seem to like South American food (Ecuadorian & Colombian) more so than Mexican or Cuban so I decided to check out this Venezuelan hole-in-the-wall the day before July 4th.

I crave food from this place every other day - yes, lemme reiterate, it's that good, and best part is that it's cheap! Caracas (91 E. 7th St.) Homemade Venezuelan arepas are their specialty. They are now open 7 days a week, it's kind of a big deal. Can't tell you how many times I've wanted arepas ... Read More
