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.
