Gracias a Generacion El Colombiano!

inedible bandeja paisa!

This little dish is a bandeja paisa.  Bandeja paisa is the classic main dish from the coffee-growing region of Colombia, the historical Antioquia.  

It's a truly phenomenal amount of food:

steak

beans

rice

chorizo

fried plantain (patacon)

fried egg

chicharron (imagine a super-thick cut bacon, with the pork rind still attached, super pork!)

avocado

and an arepa (a thick corn patty that's somewhere between a thick tortilla and flat cornbread)

In short: an express ticket to a food coma.

We're so excited to be featured in today's style supplement of El Colombiano (a major newspaper in Colombia!), Generacion.  Muchas gracias y bienvenidos a todos!

My husband is originally from Medellin, Colombia, and we go to visit his family each year.  I became instagram friends with a Colombian foodie, Claudia Arias (foodies are the best people!), and the rest is history.
