🇪🇨 Ecuador Episode 8, filmed
What to order
Empanadas, seco de chivo, and llapingachos.
Drew's take
“Every Saturday, Elysian Park turns into little Ecuador. No sign, no reservation. It's just families bringing the food from their home countries and the bet that if the food is good enough, people will come.”
Drew Nagda, from the Ecuador episode on Instagram
Episode 8. A weekend family operation in Elysian Park rather than a storefront: music, volleyball, and Ecuadorian families cooking their favorites. The seco de chivo is goat braised until tender, served with rice, fried plantains and avocado, and Drew overheard it was a family recipe. The empanadas are empanadas de viento, fried hollow with cheese in the corners and a sprinkle of sugar. His caption: the hidden gems are in Elysian Park, support local biz.
