004 - El Aguacate strikes back! feat. Flan, Platanos y más‪!‬ Siempre Pa'lante! Always Forward

Hola mi gente, welcome to the  “The Aguacate Chronicles”, I’m your host Giraldo Luis Alvaré. Gracias for listening.

Last episode, Renata and I left you wanting more with all things platanos. I mean who doesn’t like tostones, maduros, mofongo and then switching it to the versatility of arroz. You can add cornmeal and a fried egg, boom! That’s one meal. Don’t forget gallo pinto to complete your breakfast. El desayuno completo.

If you don’t know by now, we take this food thing serious. You need to be close to a kitchen, bodega or your favorite spot you love to eat. 

Up next on the menu we got aguacate, flan, arroz con frijoles, bistec empanizado, cafe, plantanos, banana, y arroz con salchicha. Ay mama. 

These delicious foods get highlighted on audio clips featuring Hosts of the show Pero…Let Me Tell You!, DJ & Ish, Founder & Owner of Amy’s Pastelillos, Amy Rivera-Nassar, and Executive Director for Nosotros, Natasha Galano.

So cojelo con take it easy. There’s enough to go around. Buen provecho. Enjoy the show.
