In all the years at Roo, I've never tried those things.

I tried them after Meg talked about them so much but we threw ours away after a few bites. Blech. I think maybe it may have been a crappy arepa vendor b/c they sucked!

I don't know - I think you either love them or hate them

Lisa hated them also - maybe it has to do with your frame of mind?

I agree. Either you love 'em or hate 'em. I'm not sure about an everyday thing but late night at Roo, the cheesy, starchy goodness is just what a body needs.

I didn't really like the arepa I tried either. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it like most people seem to.

I've been searching for a restaurant that sells these since roo. Can't find them anywhere in the atlanta area.
I had one every day at roo except the day I left and I still regret not having one for the road lol

Butter + corn + cheese = happy tummy

I think I could satisfy my craving by making a mozzarella and corn cake sandwich. Damn I'm hungry.

Maybe I'm also just really hungry at the moment, but I can see myself specifically bringing quite a bit of extra money for arepas. They look delicious.

Nice! Can't wait to try to make these. Still won't be as good as the ones at 'Roo. I think the whole experience combined with the arepa is what really makes it special.

They're addicting. Down here they have them at every concert I've been to and always get them, so seeing them at roo made me feel like I had a little bite of home @ the farm.

After all the hype on here, I was so excited to try one...and I was a little disappointed. They weren't awful, but I was expecting like something amazing. They were okay. (For me at least, I know some people really love them :) )

I got drunk and talked about Roo with my buddy last night. Is it a problem that half of this conversation was about Arepas?

No, no, no!

Arepa=buena, buena, buena!!

For the past several Roos, practically the first thing we do is hunt down the nearest arepa vendor. At least once over each weekend I manage to burn the bejesus out of the inside of my mouth cause I can't wait to wolf one down...
