Andrés Carne de Res Chía

This guide to Andrés Carne de Res in Chía traces the restaurant back to a bus ride in the early nineteen eighties, when a young Andrés Jaramillo, tired of university life in Bogotá, dreamed up a flower-covered cabin and met María Stella, the woman who'd become his partner in building it. You'll hear how he built the first forty tables himself under a tin roof with no electricity, and how the place ran on one rule: good meat and a party loud enough to shake the roof. Listen for the moment Colombians needed a whole new verb just to describe what happens here after dark.
