Jim gets a thinly disguised mention in Corby Kummer’s review of Anya von Bremzen’s new latin cookbook, Fiesta, for sleuthing out a Columbian lady who sells areapas (cornmeal and cheese flatbreads) at odd hours (at...

Has anyone had both the Arepas from the St. Arepa Lady of Jackson Heights, NYC and the Arepas from La Fonda Antioquena in LA? Can you tell me how they compare? I just came back from NYC and because of Hurricane Ernesto, was not...
