Description (from the original video): " In the 1980s, many Colombians fled their homeland due to the Cold War conflict, drug violence and a lack of opportunity. As a teenager then, Esneider Arevalo left the Paisa region and join his mom in Jackson Heights, Queens to help her to run her food cart and work in the restaurant business.
Today, Esneider also leads food tours through the diverse immigrant communities of Jackson Heights, Corona, and Elmhurst for the website, Culinary Backstreets, giving visitors a taste of both Latin-American and Asian fare. When they ask for a taste of his native Medellín, he shares with them his family recipe for traditional golden Arepas, made from freshly-ground and soaked cracked hominy corn."

Descripción: En la década de los ochenta mucho colombianos huyeron de su país a causa del conflicto de la guerra fría, la violencia del narcotráfico y la falta de oportunidades. Esneider Arévalo emigró de la región paisa a Jackson Heights, Queens para reunirse con su madre y ayudarla a manejar su camión de comida y trabajar en el negocio de los restaurantes.
Hoy día, Esneider también organiza paseos culinarios por las diversas comunidades de inmigrantes que residen en Jackson Heights, Corona y Elmhurst para el sitio web Culinary Backstreet, que le da los visitantes la oportunidad de probar comidas latinoamericanas y asiáticas. Cuando le preguntamos por los sabores de Medellín, su ciudad natal, Esneider nos ofrece la receta de su familia para las tradicionales "arepas" doraditas, hechas con maíz peto fresco molido.
