CHORRILLANA

Well, today we talk about your favourite food.  I love to eat. A lot. I love all kind of dishes except Garbanzos, but that's not the theme. I love Chilean food, a lot! but when I go out in the night and I want to eat something I couldn't to eat Pastel de choclo or Cazuela... I could prefer a dish what you could to share with your friends with beers. Do you know the Chorrillanas?

All the people know about Chorrillana, It's a very delicious meal. It consist in a bed of french fries, scrambled eggs with onion fried and minced beef over them. Trought the years, It had been modified adding longanizas, pork, cheese, sausage or other things depending of the place. And the name is know by the drip ("chorreo") of onion, eggs and meat that is produced over the french fries.

Story or mith about the birth of Chorrillana tells about a club founded on Valparaiso twenty years ago in honor to Jose Cruz Martines for delight to retired suboficials of carabineros where delicius meals where cook to them. Today the "Jota Cruz" is a very popular and picturesque restaurant decorated with a lot of antiques and people write on the walls when visit it on Valparaíso where still Chorrillana is sold.

I took this photo when I visited the "Jota Cruz". It's very very VERY DELICIOUS meal in all the place where it is cooked... :)
