She makes a local dish called Asopao de Pollo which is a chicken and rice soup that is a staple food of the locals.

The patty is also seasoned and cooked on a griddle to give it that mouth-watering flavor.

Next up, Adam visits Lares, a town located in the central highlands of Puerto Rico. There he visits a family-owned restaurant named Pueblo. He tries their signature dish called "Mofongo Relleno" which is a mashed plantain dish that is stuffed with meat, chicken, or seafood, and topped off with a red garlic sauce.
