Everything started from the moment we knew the date we would travel to Maracaibo, Zulia state, from my beautiful country Venezuela. From that moment 
and my person 
, we are a strong curiosity and anxiety to try that emblematic dish of Zulian food called patacon, a dish of great renown throughout the city of Maracaibo. The desire to try this food increased when our friend 
(native of Maracaibo), offers to prepare that exquisite dish called Patacon.

The desire to try this food increased when our friend (native of Maracaibo), offers to prepare that exquisite dish called Patacon.
The Patacon, known as a fast food in Maracaibo, is characterized by having expanded slices of fried plantain or tostones, which we could compare it as hamburger bread so to speak, responsible for covering the filling, this filling can be accompanied by multiple ingredients, ranging from: grated salad, llanero white cheese, yellow cheese, ham, fried pork, beef or chicken trimmed, parboiled eggs, ketchup sauce, mayonnaise and mustard or sauce prepared in multiple ways, in a nutshell , you can vary and make your favorite combinations, it is up to the cook to put your imagination to the table when preparing this meal.
The day arrived, 
, and I, we arrived in Maracaibo, a few days after arriving, can not stand the anxiety (me neither hahaha), so without waiting for the invitation made by , we bought a pair of patacones, to kill the curiosity that is processed by this emblematic dish. To our surprise, it was not what we expected, as the patacon was very simple, only with salad and meat. He did not comply with all the stories that patacones are otherworldly food.

Anecdote, “it is better to wait for something of quality and not let the rush take us to something that disappoints us”. This time won the kitchen of homemade food and lost the fast food kitchen, or maybe it was the difference of the chef? If so, then that means that is an excellent chef.
is an excellent chef.| ). | |
