Cachorro Quente
When I lived in São Paulo as a missionary, there were many cold nights when we would be walking home, super hungry. Invariably, there would be a perfectly placed hot dog stand selling Brazilian style hotdogs. For about 1 real, you could get a four course meal all wrapped up in a brown paper bag. You got the bun, the hot dog, the sauce, the corn, the mashed potatoes, the cheese, the potato sticks. It was amazing. To all you hard working hot dog vendors in São Paulo, thanks for keeping me alive all those years.
