Talkin' take-out

We have a Venezuelan cafe right near our house, where they make these delicious creations called "Arepas". It's like a burger, but the bun is made from corn flour (wheat free) and filled with yummy fillings like chiken and avocado mix, black beans and cheese, and mmm, spicy chorizo. And the interior is so bright and cute. I think we'll have to put this on our list of regular take-out venues. Next time I want to try the fried sweet-plantains with aged cheese. I'd never heard of plantains til we came here - they're a type of banana? or a cousin to the banana? Sounds intriguing.
