Back to EpisodesHow the Jibarito Became a Chicago Icon
Description
Gov. JB Pritzker recently announced $3 million for preservation efforts in seven Chicago neighborhoods, including Paseo Boricua in Humboldt Park. That makes it a great time to revisit our jibarito taste test with Marisol “Pinqy Ring” Velez. Velez is a musician, community organizer, and adopted daughter of Humboldt Park. Last fall, she and host Jacoby Cochran tried three jibaritos and talked about how the plantain sandwich has become a hallmark of Chicago and its Puerto Rican community.
