Dishes mentioned
Churrasco Completo
It's a giant sandwich with meat sliced super thin, a shameful amount of mayonnaise, avocado, and tomato. Super simple. If you're a trucker, if you're a construction worker, if your job involves lifting boulders, then this lunch is for you. If you're two people out walking around shopping, share it with friends. It's delicious. It's a simple sandwich with few ingredients. It's good. You don't need to know anything else. What you do need to know is that we might not finish it. My overall comment is like a stadium greasy-spoon sandwich, more or less. Approved.
Lomito Italiano
