What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by Don Luis, a legendary street vendor who has been making massive 35-pound Dominican arepas for over 40 years. He marveled at the vendor's ability to slice exact weights of the dense corn cake by hand without using a scale. Mark described the sweet arepa as a perfect, hearty cross between a cake and a bread infused with coconut and cinnamon.
