When I had an air fryer, I used it for literally everything. I'm not a fan of oil frying, the flavor just doesn't do it for me, the texture, and the way grease makes my stomach feel...blegh. Sadly, we left our kitchen windows open during a rainstorm, and a puddle formed in the floor, and I slipped and grabbed the fryer on my way down. Smashed it to shit. I do plan on buying another one, though something much bigger, more akin to the form factor of a toaster oven so that I can cook proper sized portions.

or things of that nature

For heating the bread i recommend throwing on open stove flame and flipping it every few seconds, it’ll make it nice and toasty. It’s what we do

Reminds me of a Hoe Cake

I like that you re-put the recipe up at the very end here. It’s a helpful reminder/recap

Fun stuff as always :D

Colombia has some interesting regional foods but Medellín is not the best representation of this variety. Next time you're in Colombia, try food from the Pacific Coast and plug into the local farm to table scene. Lots of interesting traditional ingredients being used in creative ways by passionate cooks.

What is that chef knife you are using?

I have a Venezuelan feiend usually when he says srepa he refers to a dish from Venezuela, not just the bread. It's similar i guess, cheese, butter, or bean in the Arepa. It's interesting how it could change from country to country

Why are your videos so long?

I live in Medellin, long time follower, it would have been an honor to get to show you my city

OMG I'M SUCH A BIG FAN OF YOU, WELCOME TO MY CITY!!!!!!! Let me know if you're still here and want to go to some cool restaurants!

I love this format! Definitely find a balance to make sure travel is still fun and interesting for you rather than so work-centric, but if you threw in these types of videos into your travel, that would be cool! My wife and I love to find a food tour for each city we visit, which is such a cool way to highlight local cuisine and learn a bit about the city. This might be a fun way to find some local highlights to share here.

Looks similar to a Mexican Torta in appearance.

Come to Thailand in January… 👏🏻😃👍🏻

Super cool format and the fact you started on my home town is great, thanks for showing the cool part of tourism in Medellin. My wife is convinced the white corn arepa would have mixed better with the chicken, but your twist was new for us and we can try.

I know this is not the objective of his platform, but I can't help saying that he is my dream husband. Te amo Ethan.

Great episode. The arepas I have had were from a Venezuelan restaurant called Juana's in State College PA . They were split and filled and delicious.

Would love to see this be a series!

Any chance you could film your shopping in other countries? I know that could be awkward so maybe just film with something small and voiceover for the video

I wish you'd explain why it's ordered the way it is (shallots then sauce)

I need to see a view out the window to believe that’s not just the other side of Ethan’s kitchen in Texas

Arepas look pretty similar to pancakes

Long time watcher since 100k subs. I too only use my Air Fryer for unhealthy frozen things, also reheating leftovers/pizza. Making <6 baked Chicken wings is good too but literally only that as far as raw food goes.

So far the best bandeja paisa I had was in the shopping center in Oviedo - Hatoviejo. Really good! Hope you can recreate it but healthy version. Another good spot where I ate was Mama Medallo and belisario in Provenza.

I have to keep reminding myself it’s a work trip for you - of course you take your tools with you

Coriander gives you three herbs in one if you get the whole thing

I'm not a fan of mixing bread and potatoes. It's a southern thing to do here, so for me a shawarma is just meat, fresh veggies, and a garlic+mayo+yoghurt sauce, all wrapped up. I know they do it with taters in the Middle East. And Mexicans will mix bread, beans, and rice in a burrito (too much for me so I never make burritos). That must spring from centuries after centuries of very poor living where you had to work every day so you wanted something cheap and filling (same as rice with Asians)

I love Asian food but dont have a wok…worth investing into one? Or should I keep cooking with my stovetop pans

As a Colombian I can tell you that even though arepas are a massive part of our gastronomy, in Medellin and in the interior in general they’re much bigger than in other parts of the country. I’m from the coast and yeah we eat arepas sometimes, especially arepas rellenas which are a very popular street food here and very recently they’ve mixed them with THE biggest street food item here which are the chuzos desgranados. That being said, fritos like empanadas or other variations of arepas like arepa de huevo and arepa dulce which is made with anise are much bigger than the typical arepa paisa, or arepa de choclo or just your regular arepa con queso

ethan: "this channel is to show you how people cook in real life, none of the fancy stuff" also ethan: "I flew to Colombia to cook this meal."

just got your channel recommended and I love it. super chill, no annoying background music, and plenty of insight about the food and what you are cooking. keep it up

Appreciate it! Enjoy your vay kay/visit.

Arepa de choclo, not arepa choclo. Also, quesito is not eaten all around Colombia, it is very regional. Even more, we don't eat arepas at every meal, I would say most people don't even eat them in a daily basis. Just because in some city, some poeple do it, doesn't mean we all do it. I don't know where are you getting your information, but it would be good if you check your sources. Generalizing is kind of insulting.

I love how you kept travel vlog section in bay and didn't wander through supermarket for two half hour episodes, pointing to obvious things. Nice format of video

Love the episode! When you go to a country how do you know what dishes / food to try?

You do an awesome job. I really enjoy watching you cook

There is milk in a bag all over the place here in Minnesota. I was super confused when I moved here from Georgia.

spread the arepa gospel🙏🙏 referrring to 2:45, venezuelan areapas are indeed filled. i'll give you a cheat code that my dad discovered to making arepas that puff up like pita bread so they're easy to fill: 1. make arepa dough - about 1:1 water to masa arepa by volume (i like the harina pan blanco) + some salt, some oil, and a little sugar if you feel lke it 2. form into patties. i separate them into ~125g portions and make into patties 3. place on a flat top skillet and grill to form a crust. if you have carbon steel use a little oil, but our family uses a nonstick teflon skillet with no oil and we prefer it drier that way 4. place arepas into 180F oven after they form a crust, just rest them on the grates so they dont fall through. contiune cooking the rest of the arepas 5. once all the arepas are made, turn the oven up to 425F, as they reach that temperature they begin to puff up like pitas 6. take them out onto a towel lined basket to keep them warm. take care because they are filled with megahot steam something exclusive to our family is, instead of slightly opening the arepa and filling it, we split in half and use each half like a taco. i encourage you to try! with the above technique you can make as many arepas as you can fit in your oven. microwaving arepas the day after they will never be as good as fresh, but they're not so bad, and id crush them at any time

Hate it when videos force you to watch to get any kind of idea of what they are about…

Awesome

Kitchen hygiene police here… I’m very careful with raw chicken. At least use some white vinegar to clean that board after the raw chicken. Otherwise, thanks for the travel log.

If you want to try the best Colombian food (besides what you already mentioned) try tamales, lechona, palito de queso, pastel de yuca, ayaca, chorizo santarosano, chicharrón, guanabanazo, lulada, maracuyada, and lots more

Hi, I'm Colombian. The arepas rellenas are typical from Venezuela. I feel that we usually eat arepas for breakfast or snacks. Normally not for lunch or dinner. I like what you cooked but I've never seen something like that 😂. Gives me some Mexican vibes.

I love fish, I would love to see a series of coastal cities and their local varieties of fish specialties

Que chimba! I've been planning a vacation to Colombia for a long time. It's an extremely misunderstood country here in the USA, and it's great to see people representing it well. 🙏

Cool. What is the issue with your audio???

This format was great. Would love to see this video style more but of course enjoying yourself on your travels is more important in life than work. But I’ll watch the videos!

rough watch - background music might be a necessary add-on
