Blog Post #1: Local Eats

 

Food is life....like literally.

 

There is everything and anything you can eat in this world and knowing that puts a smile on my face even though I'm not near it, so sad. Back to the topic, people give recommendations for restaurants, fast food places, and desert places like it's water and it's crazy how every time someone would ask, "Hey do you know any good places to eat" we automatically have a place in mind. I sure do. It's called "El Gran Canario II" on 111-17 Jamaica Ave, Richmond Hill NY. There food is soo good. If you want to get a little taste of the Dominican culture including their food start running with your google maps, it's worth it. They have arroz con gandules, pernil, maduro, and much more. They also have some basic things as well as chicken, some white + black rice and beans. Oh and let's not forget about the pastries. They sell tres leche, flan, and some cake that I don't know the name of but it's good and has some sweet filling inside. I prefer another place with desert since I'm so use to my go to place however if you want try it all out. This restaurant may be just like any other place you went to and yeah, maybe it is but there is always something different between the foods. I have eaten my Dominican mom's food and my Cuban families food. Both the same meal, both taste good, however both a little different. El Gran Canario II wont disappoint--- keep your options open there so much to try in this world including this restaurant. Call it promoting, call it as you will, but a girl is just trying to put you on to some good food.
