Stuffed Venezuelan Sandwiches

These Venezuelan Arepas Are Offered In a Gas Station Deli Near Miami

— July 5, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Venezuelan arepa is a regular daily meal in its home country as well as neighboring Colombia, but is fast gaining popularity in the USA as a quick, easy and delicious alternative to staid old classic sandwiches, wraps and subs. Few establishments make as delicious an arepa as Chamos Cafe, a discreet but high-quality deli establishment located deep in the depths of a gas station in Doral, a municipality located in the Miami-Dade County of Florida.

This particular Venezuelan arepa stands out from other similar offerings in Miami in that it is served fried rather than grilled as is the norm. They are absolutely packed with fillings including meat, cheese and vegetable toppings, and are targeted towards people who don't mind a messy eating experience if it means they get bang for their buck in terms of flavor.

So the next time you find yourself in the Miami-Dade County, ditch the boring sandwich and treat yourself to an indulgent Venezuelan arepa at Chamos Cafe.



Trend Themes
1. Fried Venezuelan Arepas - The trend of serving fried Venezuelan arepas instead of grilled ones offers a unique and indulgent dining experience.
2. Messy Eating Experience - The trend of targeting consumers who enjoy a messy eating experience with loaded arepas presents an opportunity for innovative food concepts.
3. Alternative to Classic Sandwiches - The trend of Venezuelan arepas gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional sandwiches suggests a disruptive innovation opportunity for sandwich shops to diversify their offerings.
Industry Implications
1. Food Service - The food service industry can take advantage of the popularity of fried Venezuelan arepas to attract customers and differentiate themselves from competitors.
2. Gas Station Convenience Stores - Gas station convenience stores can tap into the trend by partnering with or incorporating high-quality delis like Chamos Cafe to offer unique food options for customers.
3. Fast Casual Dining - Fast casual dining establishments can incorporate loaded arepas into their menus to appeal to consumers seeking flavorful and non-traditional meal options.
