Eating the Globe: Ecuador


This quest is becoming difficult. Recently, I went to San Francisco International Airport to interview for my Global Entry card (more on that later). On the way back, I decided to go to an out-of-the-way neighborhood to try Honduran food. I walked about half a mile from the subway station to find the restaurant closed. Lead, asbestos, and microbes, oh my!

Yesterday, I was in Palo Alto for a holiday cocktail party and decided to stop for dinner at my friend's Ecuadorean restaurant. It has been raining for a week here and traffic was atrocious. The short trip took over an hour. I tried the llapingachos. It's a potato cake with cheese inside. It reminded me a bit of Venezuelan arepas.
