Chemilico, Chilean SandwichTo say goodbye to October and the challenge of Chilean sandwiches at  BRBC, I did a Chemilico.

I recommend this sandwich, is not as well known as the Chacarero,  but delicious and filling with golden onions and a fried egg on top … the creaminess of the yolk when you bite is heaven. And the sweetness of the onions really complements the meat.

    My husband is from Chile. Born in Valparaiso, and lived in San Antonio, Antofagasta, Santiago and Vina Del Mar. We’ve still got relatives living there. I’ve been there five times. I absolutely love the food and the people there, and have tried to copy the food from taste. Sometime it turned out good and sometimes not. It’s really nice to know that there is a site out there in English for the recipes of Chilean food. I love all of your recipes and I’m trying to try them all for my husband and myself. Keep up the good work! I love your website! Thank you

    When I was growing up the sponsor for our little league team was a drive-in called The Pink Polka Dot. They served a burger with every item for their menu, except for french fries. It had ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, beef burger, cheese, and a fried egg.

    When I saw this recipe I had to get it. Thanks for all you do. I just subscribed.
