Ramón Barros Luco, after whom the sandwich is named

Barros Luco is a 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] who served as President of Chile from 1910 to 1915. The sandwich was created 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 president's cousin, senator Barros Jarpa, asked instead for sandwiches with ham and cheese, as he found the beef hard to eat. These sandwiches became known as Barros Jarpa. [5]
