"CHILE Dispatch from North Bergen, New Jersey: For many years Los Andes Bakery in North Bergen has been the type of place that when passed on a day of walking always was done with a full stomach. Its abstracted mountains in the window, something like what you see from Santiago de Chile, have always had a pull. On a recent weekday morning the panaderia chilena finally became the destination, and a few rewards were procured. Having to decide between a chacarero and a completo, Chile's famous hot dog with avocado and many other toppings, is always a challenge, but on this day the chacarero $5.95) won out. This uniquely Chilean sandwich consists of thinly sliced churrasco steak paired with a nice mound of green beans. On the streets of Santiago you can eat one of these almost every block, as small diners called schoperias something akin to a shop selling draft beer) offer these and other quick bites to keep the alcohol from acting too quickly. Here it is served on hallulla bread that is baked fresh in house. Los Andes Bakery, 7714 Bergenline Avenue, North Bergen, New Jersey. The full story today on our website."
