Who's hungry?

Well, here is a word of warning: if you are watching your carbs, fat, dairy, weight or really anything at all, the video below might be a tough one to watch. Proceed with caution!

Now, check out Brian Kelly's top five food (and drink) items he tried while in Medellin and Guatapé in Colombia below. Since Colombia is home to such an array of diverse, one-of-a-kind eats, we couldn't list every single one of the food items we tried and loved. But know this: the arepas con huevos from the food stand in Parque Arvi can, and will, cure your hangover.

Like what you see? Good news — we upload new "Being The Points Guy" vlogs every Tuesday and Thursday. If you missed last week's episode, Brian reviewed the Avianca flying experience from Colombia to his home in New York.
