A South American sandwich

I'm an equal-opportunity sandwich connoisseur.  Pastrami from The Hat, banh mi from Lee's Sandwiches, tortas from Cook's - if it's in sandwich form, chances are pretty good that I'll like it.  Amanda felt like she owed me dinner, so she treated me to a sandwich.


This baby is from the Brazil Cafe cart that's parked at Telegraph and Bancroft every day.  To get right to the point, I should have tried it a long time ago.  This tri-tip sandwich was fabulous - garlic/cilantro mayo (or something, it was thinner than mayo), tomato, lettuce, and the aforementioned beef with grilled onions.  I wish the bottom bun was sliced a little thicker since it fell apart on the second half of my sandwich, but aside from that, it was perfection.  The whole thing was exploding with savory goodness.  I mean, often times I'm content with minimalist seasoning, but I love it when a combination of spices and sauces comes together perfectly like they did in this sandwich.  I'll be back, that's for sure.

P.S.  I was treated, so I didn't really eat out!  Don't judge me!
