Place of originChile
Main ingredientsBread, beef, cheese
Ramón Barros Luco, after whom the sandwich is named

Barros Luco is a popular hot sandwich in Chile that includes beef and melted cheese[1] in one of several types of bread. The sandwich is named after Chilean president Ramón Barros Luco,[1] and was coined in the restaurant of the National Congress of Chile,[2] where president Barros Luco always asked for this sandwich.[3] Other sources point to Confitería Torres as the place where the sandwich was created.[4]

The meat cuts used for this sandwich are the same that are used for the churrasco,[citation needed] another popular Chilean sandwich. Several varieties of bread are used in this sandwich: Pan de frica, pan amasado, marraqueta and sliced white bread are popular.[citation needed] The president's cousin, senator Barros Jarpa asked instead for sandwiches with ham and cheese, so these sandwiches started to be called Barros Jarpa.[5]
