Bauru

I'll bet you never heard of this sandwich...because I never did until today....

A few blocks from São Paulo’s Praça da República, is Ponto Chic, a traditional Brazilian eatery whose menu features at least a hundred options. Among these, Ponto Chic is most famous for just one: the Bauru. Bauru is a Brazilian city in the Midwestern region of the state of São Paulo. But the sandwich isn’t named for the region Bauru, but rather after a student from it.

But that's another blog post for another blog...

 Traditionally, the sandwich, which costs about $8.30 in American currency, features roast beef, but ham is also used. And while mozzarella is often cited as the cheese, Ponto Chic is said to actually use a blend of four cheeses, which are melted in a bain-marie before being poured over the meat. Besides tomato slices, the Bauru also contains pickles.

Mmmmmmmmmm try it..Try to make this if you dare..

Enjoy! Eat well my friends!

 The soft, hollowed-out bread has a thin, crispy, flaking crust, with moist roast beef inside. It positively oozes with cheese, as if during the first few bites, there’s an endless supply to come, the acid of the tomatoes and the pickles adding more juice and a tart accent. You can’t visit São Paulo without stopping for one.
