Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Latin American food. In this series we travel across the continent to investigate and try the most popular dishes of each place.
This is the definitive guide to know what to eat, where to eat it and why eat it. In this first episode we talk about the hotdogs of Medellin, Colombia, which replace the original hot dog sausage with bacon slices, and are topped with double melted cream cheese and shoestring fries. This gastronomic jewel of the Aburrá Valley is a direct inheritance of the massive consumption of pork in this region of Colombia and its peasant tradition of serving large portions of food in every dish.
