 The arepa, a delicious and versatile corn patty, has been rapidly gaining popularity in the American food scene, with some even calling it "the next taco." This staple of Venezuelan and Colombian cuisine is a simple yet satisfying creation: a grilled or fried ground maize patty that's crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, and packed with a variety of juicy and flavorful stuffings. In Philadelphia, several fantastic restaurants are introducing the city to the comforting and delicious world of the arepa.
