> Valencia Luncheria took Guy by surprise, as he'd never had the Venezuelan tortilla called an arepa. The thick tortilla gets fried and then stuffed with both savory and sweet fillings. Think roasted pork shoulder, tender shredded chicken, ceviche and even Nutella and cream cheese.

>Special Dishes: Pernil Arepa (Pork Venezuelan Pocket Sandwich), The Morning After, Strong Island, Red Smitty

I find it weird that guy would never have had an arepa before.

Yea, the restaurant itself was actually in a different location (about a few hundred feet from where it is now) in a super small spot.

If I had to guess Guy visited in 2009ish?
