Paola Velez Instagram – Inspired by my mom’s love of sweet plantains and cinnamon and ironically an episode of @guyfieri #dinersdriveinsanddives that my mom was watching. My mom leans over to me as we’re watching the show to get and goes, Paola, can you make sticky buns? I love sticky buns. So I ask her, de Que sabor? (What flavor?) and she goes ah de platano 😂 trying to be silly, but she saw the crazed look that washes over me when I can see that a food idea is going to work. So after months of planning, testing and recipe development and flying back with what seemed like a brick of sticky buns that absolutely got flagged by TSA. I put these guys on the menu of the restaurant I was working on back then. These little plantain sticky buns have taken me a long, long way since 2019. Sometimes you think you know what you want in life. Then sometimes your whole life can change because of your mom and @guyfieri!
Would you eat these plantain sticky buns?
