Colombian Style Bacon Hotdogs in Medellín

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Latin American food. In this series we travel across the continent to investigate and try the most popular dishes of each place.
This is the definitive guide to know what to eat, where to eat it and why eat it. In this first episode we talk about the hotdogs of Medellin, Colombia, which replace the original hot dog sausage with bacon slices, and are topped with double melted cream cheese and shoestring fries. This gastronomic jewel of the Aburrá Valley is a direct inheritance of the massive consumption of pork in this region of Colombia and its peasant tradition of serving large portions of food in every dish.

I lived in medellín in 2019 and I would frequently go and make the trip down to Envigado to have Héctor's famous perritas! This guy is a real icon, I remember him dancing salsa and singing 'Salchicha con Huevos' whilst serving customers. They are so fuckin good I can't even explain. Pure greasy cheesy salty magic, amazing after a big night of drinking. fuck those were the days.....

[@GVilleAnarcho]

Damn, I feel like the subtitles didn't do it justice. A 'perro' is a dog or hot dog. A 'perra' is a female dog. So they call it a perra cause that's a perro(hot dog) without a wiener. They translated it to 'frank' but the joke fails with that translation.

[@dannyherrera1598]

Youre right. But maybe frank because theres a huge weenie brand names franks? Idk

[@sim0nsix]

They actually explained that

[@dannyherrera1598]

@@sim0nsix where did they explain it? Time stamp? Sorry but I'm not Colombian so somtimes I can't understand when they talk too fast.

@@juanmcano4726 I think people misspell Colombia "Columbia" because of the popular coat company we have in the States. Everyone wears Columbia sweatshirts, and ski jackets. I rate my own spelling abilities as excellent, and until recently I spelled that word wrong too. It's similar to the word doughnut. We have dunkin donuts, a coffee shop. Everyone I know spells doughnuts donuts lol.

Question for anybody that has an answer... as a foodie (fat kid) myself, I've noticed that alot of central American street food (including food from many Spanish speaking island nations) use a topping of fried potato sticks on alot of different things like sandwiches and hot dogs and I was just wondering, why is this such a popular condiment? Is there a story behind it similar to say the popularity of French fries on sandwiches in Pittsburgh that started so truck drivers could eat everything at the same time while driving?
