I didn't know the Birds would be in the Superbowl when I bought non-refundable tickets for a vacation in Colombia. I found an ex-pat neighborhood that is serving cheesesteak ingredients on big piece of toast (almost like French toast).
It's okay — it definitely doesn't hit the same, but it's in the spirit of the day. Headed to a sports bar soon to pre-game!

It's the steak, though. Super chewy and the bread is VERY soggy as you'd expect. Still in the spirit of the day, though!

Lots of good food in Colombia but in general steaks are not great. Try the ajiaco, bandeja paisa, and as many empanadas y patacones as you can. Sopas are wonderful, as are the fruit juices. Bad takes on American food are among my least favorites. I never got into the salchipapas either, but maybe worth a shot.

Thank you so much for the suggestions!
I was pretty altitude sick coming from 12 meters above sea-level Philadelphia to 2600 meters Bogota yesterday when I arrived. I was pretty nauseous, so I googled and ordered Ajiaco because it sounded comforting — it was delicious!
I had tamarind juice with lemon juice and basil with this meal, and it was out of this world. I have decided I am going to drink juice with every meal since it's so much more fresh than I can get in the states, and it's so inexpensive.

Spent a few weeks in Bogota working a few years ago. Loved every second being there.

It's a phenomenal town! I have enjoyed myself even though the first couple of days I had some pretty bad altitude sickness. I had no idea Bogota was as high up as it is — apparently the third highest nation capital of the world.

I wouldn't be mad. Gravy sounds like a pretty good addition.
