The Un-Arepa
Venezuelan-style arepas and scallops tie for my favorite foods. Naturally, it follows that my favorite restaurants in the entire world are Taverna Kyclades (Ditmars Blvd., Astoria), a Greek fish joint, and Valencia Luncheria (Norwalk, CT), a Venezuelan cafe. When I read Mark Bittman’s column and saw the photo today, there was a lot of “wtf?!?!??” Because that sounds and looks good enough, but it’s not an arepa. Not even a Colombian-style arepa.
Imagine my delight at reading the comments on Bitten. He got TOLD by venezolano after venezolano, and a colombiano or two for good measure.
