In northeast Sumatra, there's a city called Medan- explained in a popular tourist guidebook with the three-word summary: "don't go here." It's loud, abrasive, and intense, with crumbling infrastructure and a grim reputation. But this reputation has meant that one of the best food cities on Earth has gone unnoticed, and exciting culinary secrets are still hidden in plain sight.
