Conoce Mi Panama (CLOSED)

Members of the Gudino family will encourage you to take your time. They’ll mention this when they drop off perfectly crisp green plantains meant to be drenched in garlicky oil, and again as you’re slurping yucca-studded chicken soup. From simple stewed pintos to dense bread pudding freckled with raisins, this is homestyle Panamanian cooking to its core. Bring a bottle of red wine, follow the prodding to slow down, and the name (it translates to Know My Panama) will come through loud and clear.
