Our take: Jefferson Park’s meat maestros: El Asadero grills up Colombian classics with a side of Chicago attitude. Bring a robust red and prepare for carnivorous nirvana.

Wine Pairing: For Colombian grilled meats, bring a bold red like Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon. For white, try a crisp Torrontés or Sauvignon Blanc.

Beer Pairing: A Colombian beer like Aguila pairs well with grilled meats. For a craft option, try a smoky Rauchbier or a malty amber ale.

Spirits Pairing: Aguardiente is the spirit of choice in Colombia. Bring a bottle of Nectar or Antioqueño. For variety, a smoky mezcal pairs well with grilled meats.
