Widely exposed through Throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Network in 2008, Caracas Arepa Bar currently churns out a whopping 1,000 arepas daily. The little artsy hole in the wall restaurant racks up an hour long wait at any given time of day but the unique meal is well worth the wait.
But wait, what are these pita like pockets? Arepas are "straight from Venezuela, with New York temperament, stuffed or plain, arepas can be a snack or a meal, exotic or familiar. Their versatility is probably their only constant and the reason why in Venezuela they are at the center of every meal; from breakfast to lunch, dinner, and the occasional after party treat" claims the Caracas Arepa Bar.
