Medellín is a favorite among tourists, expats and entrepreneurs alike, and to be fair, it is a very cool place. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Medellín, but I currently live as a resident in Cali. Of course I am biased in my opinions. Still, I feel that

I’m a carnivore! I love my steaks, sausages, hams, roasts, fish, shrimps, chicken, lamb… you name it, I’ll eat it. So it wasn’t without a certain amount of scepticism, when my girlfriend begged me to go to Frutos del Sol in El Peñon. I must have made more jokes about vegetarians than
