I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017…
These creations that are like an empanada meets an egg roll meets a stuffed tennis ball are not exactly traditional from any one Latin American country. But the folks at Che Café have put a spin on the empanada with these chechenitas. They’re fun and full of surprising flavor combinations like this Greek-inspired spinach feta with a side of tzatziki. That’s what New York fast food is all about – fusing flavors and creating a new vessel for a quick mid-day snack. Price: $5.25
