Tostado

Four words at the café table, un tostado y un cortado, and the press answers: crustless pan de miga striped gold around ham and machine-cut cheese, quartered into triangles timed to the coffee.

Súper Lomito

The loaded extreme of the Chilean lomito al pan: braised pork loin shaved thin, stacked with cheese, ham, avocado, and a runny egg on toasted pan amasado, born in the Santiago soda fountains.
