If you’re not from around here, arepas basically look like a thick, smaller version of a pita bread. But arepas are less chewier and are made either out of white or yellow corn (sweet tasting). Arepas are fried, baked, or grilled, and eaten throughout the day as a snack or to accompany any meal. But arepas in Miami have become more than just bread -- arepas have been challenging chefs and food enthusiasts to create the ultimate arepa.
