A fun story about the long-standing rivalry between Colombia and Venezuela over the origin of the arepa—the iconic corn flatbread that both countries proudly claim as their own. Reina, the Venezuelan arepa, and Paisa, the Colombian arepa, both claim the title of the World’s Best Breakfast. Both countries insist they invented the arepa, but who’s right? To settle the score, Reina and Paisa go head-to-head in an epic TV cooking competition. Each wants to prove that they are the original, the most ancient, the biggest, the tastiest, and even the most beautiful. It’s not just about flavor—it’s about PRIDE. With 1 million pesos at stake, the pressure is on. Who will take home the title of World’s Best Breakfast? It’s a fight for flavor, pride, and culinary glory!
