Venezuelan Bakery Takes Top Empanada Honors
Moises Bakery, the Venezuelan spot at 73rd and Collins Avenue, took top honors at a recent empanada contest at the North Beach Hispanic Heritage Festival. The winning ingredients, according to the Herald story, are brown sugar in the dough and a carne mechada filling. Another winner was the Argentine offering from Juice and Bites, which came in third place.
But the surprise second-place winning empanada came from Tamarind Thai Restaurant, which filled its dough with chicken curry, potatoes, onions and green tea. See? I wasn't so far off when I advocated Cuban-Thai fusion.
