"Fluffy and delightful, I found myself taking a particular liking towards this warm, savoury, souffle-like dish."
"My farewell onces was saved for Confiteria Torres, the city's oldest cafe (circa 1879). The appetizers included an industrial-strength dipping sauce (pebre). I found heaven as dusk settled outside."

"The combination of tender beef and melted cheese atop fresh-baked marraqueta bread is enough to make anyone’s mouth water (my apologies, vegetarians)."
on Barros Luco
"The Barros Luco sandwich is Chile's most famous and the real thing is found in Confiteria Torres, a traditional restaurant opened in 1879. It is named after the president Ramón Barros Luco, who ruled the country between 1910 and 1915. Delicious! Loaf of bread with strips of filet mignon and melted cheese."
