Our take: Albany Park’s pan-Latin inferno: El Fogon stokes the flames of flavor from across the Americas. Bring your own cerveza and prepare for a culinary tour de force.
Wine Pairing: For pan-Latin cuisine, bring a versatile wine like Tempranillo or Garnacha. For white, a Chenin Blanc or Torrontés works well.
Beer Pairing: A crisp lager like Estrella Jalisco pairs well with various Latin cuisines. For a craft option, try a tropical fruit-infused IPA.
Spirits Pairing: Pisco is a great all-around Latin spirit. Bring a bottle of Barsol or Macchu Pisco. For variety, try a bottle of cachaça or rum.
