Changua en el puesto 9 jajaja, solo a los rolos les gusta eso
El ajiaco santafereño con alcaparras y crema, el plato de los domingos en Bogotá.
La arepa de huevo en la playa de Cartagena, nada se le compara
Falta el sudado de pollo con papa, que es lo que se come en cualquier casa.
La bandeja paisa de primera, obvio, aunque después hay que hacer siesta de dos horas 😂
