The food here is awesome. Well, depends on where you are I guess. Last time I was here, we would have our lunches delivered since we were gated inside a university (in a shady part of town) and I was at the mercy of whatever the crew was ordering. Typically it was some mediocre fast food. Of course for dinners, I could go to the grocery store and pick up some of the best beef I've had. This time was no different.
The new studio is located in the city and in a much more developed area, so we have much greater access to food. So for the past two days I've eaten Colombia's finest...Papa John's pizza and Subway. The pizza was great and the sub was pretty good too, although I ordered some boneless pork rib sandwich I think. And since the person I was with ordered a six inch, I ended up with the same. I don't think I've ever ordered a six inch before so I was pretty hungry...about 5 minutes later. Good think I had steak and penne at the hotel.
There are rumors of a place nearby that serves actual Colombian fare, so hopefully I can drag someone with me and order the bandeja paisa, Medellin's signature dish. There's also a McDonald's beside my hotel so maybe I'll be adventurous and try that too.
There are many Juan Valdez coffee shops around and they are really good. They have these open air shops where you can walk up and order a cappuccino as if you were buying street meat. I shouldn't be so enamored with it but it feels so civilized. If only it was 22 degrees at home every day...
