Vice President Kamala Harris popped into this arepa joint in Miami. Here’s her order
Carbs are always a good idea.
Just ask Vice President Kamala Harris, who traveled to Miami last week to highlight the White House’s climate-change agenda, right after we were still drying out from unprecedented storms that flooded Fort Lauderdale.
Harris and her team zoomed around Dade County, visiting the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric & Earth Science on Virginia Key.
The trip wasn’t all business, though. The crew later stopped in to Doggi’s Arepa Bar’s Coral Way location.
Harris tweeted a snap of the momentous visit to the local hot spot that has been selling the popular Venezuelan corn pancakes packed with sweet and savory fillings since 2010.
”Small businesses like this one are the backbone of our nation,” the 58 year old Californian wrote of Doggi’s, which reportedly did not have a heads up about the historic pop-in beforehand.
Video on the family owned restaurant’s Instagram shows the pol in a cream pants suit smiling and chatting with staffers, posing for selfies, then grabbing a bag of chow to go.
Doggi’s told Miami.com the second in command’s order was simple: two signature arepas. One was the catira, shredded chicken and gouda ($10.99); the other, the pabellón, shredded beef, black beans, fried plantains and white cheese ($12.99).
Apparently, one was for her, the other for Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff.
“I’m honored to eat your arepas,” said Harris. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to save one in time for my husband on the way home.”
