Finger-food and quick bites have always been a big part of Latin American food, transcending social classes and age groups. It's heavily present in daily life (school break, after-party stop, along with a cold beer at a neighborhood picada) and it's what gets the party started during family gatherings. With the rise of the food-truck culture all over the world, Latin snacks and street food items are even more important. Santiago has traditionally been known more for street food like steak sandwiches and hot dogs smeared with creamed avocado than fine dining. In this episode, Grace explores the tradition of snacks, appetizers and the local fast-food, meeting some interesting locals along the way.
