Patio Tropical, a new cafe by Colombian chef Stephanie Bonnin, offers a unique blend of flavors featuring custom-made chorizo from a local butcher. With influences from her family's recipes, Bonnin creates dishes like arepas and eggs, enriching the local breakfast scene. Collaboration with artisans at This Is Latin America has resulted in a vibrant atmosphere. Bonnin describes her first visit to the space as transformative, emphasizing her commitment to community and cultural heritage. Plans for summer cookouts add a communal component to the dining experience.
"My grandfather and my father used to make chorizos from their hometown as a way to keep tradition and culture so it was important to have them on the menu."
"I will never forget the way that I felt the first time that I stepped in this store," she said, feeling a community she wanted to be a part of.
