Chile $100 Street Food Challenge!! The Locals Hate Me!!

today I will take on the almost impossible

challenge

of spending over $100 on

street

food

here in Santiago Chile there are things inside here oh my goodness that's a surprise but first let's back up now what we learned in our last video is that a lot of the Street

food

you see in the city isn't really Chilean, it comes from other countries like Peru, Venezuela, even the Caribbean, so although some of this food looks tempting, I'm trying to focus on trying strictly Chilean food this morning. I have come to Vega Central, this market has practically everything, as long as it is food, outside we are already seeing products, we are seeing action, we are seeing a truck right now, let's go in and see what we do.

I can find I've found something amazing right behind me here this little shop sells a bunch of different local fast foods and look at a country where it's acceptable to get up early in the morning and eat some ass, it's one of the menu items I've I have never eaten culo in Chile and I would like to try it. It looks clean. He seems to take care of himself. Let's jump into the kitchen and see how they make this ass. They're a little weird, but everything will be fine soon. we're going to be best friends hello hello here we have Joe Alis she's our cook our chef today preparing some ass let's get into this this is the Chasco it's beef cut very thin she's going to hit it with a little bit of oil, has employed the minced meat technique, cutting small pieces, you put a little salt, a little more oil, so this is garlic infused vegetable oil and it smells delicious here, after the cheese, you get a nice slice of cheese and gives it a little dip in the hot dog water and then puts it right on the griddle this is guda cheese she puts the meat inside the bun and then the guda cheese goes on oh my god it looks like cheese Philadelphia, that ass is very cool. looks amazing now let's talk about the name let's talk about the elephant ass in the room apparently the owner just told us it's a typo it was supposed to be since it's still pronounced which is still fun hilarity aside of the name that legitimately seems. super delicious, cheers, the bun is super soft, the meat is juicy and you get that garlic flavor immediately when you bite into it.

I'm curious about cheese, we have real cheese, why not some weird chemical cheese? It's still a weird chemical cheese mixture, but it's delicious I want to try something else here they have this spicy chili sauce this seems very Mexican solantro and onion to me oh that's amazing it's very spicy and very sour and then the onion has a little cake the cilantro is fresh this is a very affordable $384, there are some menu items here that I haven't tried before. I think I'm going to order something else here too because we're on a good streak, let's keep going.

I'm back in the kitchen again and Joe Alice is oh she's gone right now we're making another meal this one is called baril baril Italian this is not Italian food that's going to make sense soon let's cook it all starts with this beautiful gigantic Chilean bread that is cut in half oh that is for later the bread is called maretta now begins the process of making it Italian starting with avocado we have green then we have the mayonnaise white and soon tomato but first we are going to heat that in The Griddle this is meat of soft, tender, juicy pork, slowly braised, hit it with a little bit of that garlic oil and a little bit of salt, it's already cooked, but she's just heating it up nice and infusing it with that garlic oil from here it goes to the bread , I think she's going for the tomatoes, yes, this is our Italian flag, the red, the white and the green, all together, she will smash them into a big beautiful sandwich and then she cuts it in half and it's ready to eat .

Thanks, we have our pair right here. the top is nice and crispy, it has tons of sauces inside, it will be very moist and then you can see the soft pork that has been crisped on that deliciously hot griddle, it's hot back there, there's not much room to be a small lady to work there you couldn't be this guy, for example, too big. I'm going to try to get back to this, oh here we go, cheers, that's great, this is something special, putting gloves and gloves of avocado and mayonnaise on everything. The pork is succulent, soft and full of pork juices, there is a hint of garlic coming from the garlic oil, this is about pure pleasure, even if you start to get tired of the sandwich you ordered, there is only a buffet of condiments to sausages and sauces that you can put. on top for example they call this green chili even though it looks slightly yellow, hit a little in the corner a little freshness, nothing too spicy, it's very good and all this for under $5 is amazing value and In fact, it reminds me that it's going to be very difficult to reach $100 today if we keep eating like this, but let's see, I'll still do my best.

This whole market is basically like an open air grocery store, they have a lot of products. meat they have this right here I don't know much Spanish but that says mayonnaise Mayon mayonnaise I finally found a country that loves mayonnaise as much as I do too I'm excited by the amount of cold meats and cheeses they have here Chile is really famous for their products, their fruits and vegetables including this delicious avocado, they love to put it in many of their different

street

foods, it's smooth, creamy, delicious and super affordable too in any country if you're trying to get an idea of ​​what people really eat, it's Better to start at the market because first you see the products, the fruits and vegetables, but then you come here and you can see the different types of meat they offer, big, delicious and juicy cow legs, people make a great deal on the fingers of Cel's feet, but these cow toes look pretty good here they have some chicken torsos here we have some of the chicken cutouts we have gizzards and then right next to them, chicken feet, so if you like feet, esp. animal feet this is your place boom, we have come to our next meal here as I said, there are many people selling meat and sausages especially here, but I found another protein that I did not expect to find in this market here it is called Char and if you look at the picture you will be able to discern what type of animal this is.

It's a horse, they dried the meat of a horse or this horse died in the desert. I'm not sure, let's try some jerky, okay, it's pulling. take it out right now that's it this is a wild texture it looks fibrous they really took all the water out of this it smells like horse food it smells like grain or something unusual you can see the dust coming out of it the muscle fibers and some inue okay, so it's a piece, let's go for it. I don't know if this is horse or cardboard. It's so intensely dry that I'm rehydrating it with my saliva.

M, it's not that good if I'm honest. but what about the price? Here we have 1 kilo of chy. They have dehydrated him so much. This was at least a pony. Everyone needs Pony here unknown. This costs $43.90. Should I buy it and count it towards our total today? I think I should, right behind me you'll see a bunch of different interesting pickled foods and condiments. Chilean food has many different influences and one of them comes from the Germans. That's right, those are my people famous for sausages and the world domination I had. Not part of that, however, a significant wave of German immigration to Chile began in the mid-19th century and of course they brought their food with them, including this sour cabbage that looks very sour and very crowded, of course , this is fermented cabbage, it's like imagine. kimchi but without spices, but they also have another food called simply American sauce or American sauce.

Here is a pickled mixture of finely chopped carrots, cucumbers and onions. This is a popular condiment, especially on Chilean sandwiches and hot dogs, and I think yesterday when I had my hot dog they spread a little bit of this on the inside oh, I can grab it, here we go, let's try it a little soft, definitely sour, salty, that That's all, why is it called American sauce, I have no idea, ah, it's offering another food. To me, it looks like a super tart jalapeño here, incredibly salty but delicious tasting and has a nice warm glow at the end.

I like it. The pickling fun is not over here, we have the green chili which looked quite yellow when I was eating it. that sandwich before I showed you that condiment that is made ground this the owner said it is very tasty that means spicy this could be a mistake very delicate many seeds inside it is good a little salty very acidic I like this gra this this guy has fantastic hair , this guy has as a movie director here, we have reached the corner of the market where they have a small food court, there are about five six restaurants behind me, they all have different menus and they are all hockey. so let's see what we can find, there will definitely be some unique Chilean food here right now.

I'm in the kitchen with him, he's our chef today and he's preparing two different dishes, the first one includes cow tripe or in Spanish, so he's throwing in a little bit of water and some thinly sliced ​​tripe this is a sauce of vegetables a little heavy cream this is hard to explain I've never seen a dish like this before it's like a cow stomach pie it's not a Dr. translation that's what it looks like to me hit it with a little salt , some MSG right here we have bread and cheese next, what a curious combination of ingredients pour all that into a hot crock pot and top it with more guda cheese and that's the same cheese we ate this morning on top of my butt and finally even more pieces of tripe and then some herbs on top to cover it so that everything melts inside right now we are preparing two dishes at the same time, one is that cow stomach pie, the other is like French fries loaded

chile

s, it's called toriana, it looks like the perfect food to drink, unfortunately I'm not drunk, but it might be that you start with a little bit of oil in your pan and then we want. a couple of fried eggs oh my god these are fried eggs then Chasco Beef goes in a frying pan this is the meat we ate earlier inside our butt and then some little sausages joined the meat party he's going to hit that meat with a little bit of salt, this looks good, put a little bit of onion, a little bit of vinegar, a little bit of Gatorade, oh wait, a little bit of soy sauce, not Gatorade, a little bit of oregano, then a little meat broth, it's ready.

Now it's time for step one of assembly a base of French fries goes on the plate I need one of those for research purposes that's good and another generous spoonful of Chasco and Saito or look at that finally the greasiest and oiliest eggs I've ever seen in my life uhoh it looks like this these eggs forgot to wear a bra today you are satisfied with the progress you will bring down here okay just set it on fire and take a look at that presentation a flaming clay pot full of stomach and cheese, love it, boom, food court. food this here what's going on this is like generations and generations put in a bowl we'll get back to that soon this is beautiful didn't go overboard with the yolk because you want to capture this moment right here a waterfall cascade of delicious yolk, look at that bite, this is like classic drinking food, but this is Chile, people don't really like to drink here, yeah yeah, it's awesome and delicious, what a mix of flavors he put in there, I only have a couple. of the dogs in that M is smoked it's a classic dog I need a bite that has a little bit of everything we have fries we have meat we have dog we have egg and CH mhm this is simple delicious oh and look everyone is faking me oh no they , that one, so that's that food, let's talk about this food right here, this is called tup guti, it smells pretty spicy, but I don't care, we have some of that gaoua cheese. the stomach of the cow there is crushed bread that they put inside the stomach M it is a little soft but the texture is very pleasant it is like a squid so it is a little chewy when you put it under this cheese this is the super saturated bread they have they take old dry bread and then soak it in milk to rehydrate it, they make it softer and also quite rich and creamy, cheers, it's smoky, it's surprisingly creamy, very cheesy, this is the kind of thing I want to try when I come to a new country .

From here we will head to a different market. This market is best known for its meat products. It's like a big outdoor grocery store, but the next place we're going to has tons of food. Let's see it. Now we are leaving a market and going directly across the street towards the girl. This is another market, but they are a little different. They told me this one has more food. Oh yes, there are many restaurants here. Now we have entered the other market. They don't have as many groceries here as produce or meat, but they have a lot of restaurants and they have what my good friend Ora would call Fish, look at these fish, we have hard fish, small fish, fish with big teeth and then this is a fish with beak also known as octopus.

I always talk about the octopus's beak, now you can see it, it's like a little parrot, it's scary, but the muscle around the beak is one of the most delicious parts of the octopus. We are not going to get it right now but I just wanted to show you that I liked it here you have something very special a traditional dish known in Englishlike corn cakenow these are already cooked they are in small cans it is made with corn you can see a green olive in the center like a cherry on top this is the woman in charge here so she is saying these brown speckled parts on the top It's made with Brown Sugar, she can say anything right now and she would have no idea I'm making fun of you, okay, you know what I deserve it, so we have our corn cakes here, let's order one, sit down and try it, thank you so much wow take a look at that guys this is different from the ones we just saw you can see it's puffier it's almost wet in some areas it looks like someone crushed the olive to make sure it stayed there , now this is my thing.

I'm not. So much for any type of American cornbread, it can be quite dry, the only way to keep it from drying out is to put a half gallon of butter on it, so this may not be my favorite, let's start with the top, we have a big chunk steaming right here try it M it tastes like hand cream corn turned into bread it's not dry at all on the outside it has developed a bit of a shell it has a slightly denser texture than the inside wet and thick that being said this is stuff inside here let me try to get it out this what's going on here what's like a chicken oh my god yes that's a surprise it's like a Happy Meal you never know what you're getting into, let's try it mhm bra for days super soft, succulent and juicy chicken, that's good, Let's see what else is here. beef, onion juices, flavor, all this is the good stuff.

You mix it with some cake on the outside and that's a bite made in heaven. I must say it is on my must try list. Is very good. I have enough stomach left for one more location. There are some more iconic foods I want to try in this episode and we're getting our revenge. closer to $100 let's move boom we've reached our final location here right behind me in this kitchen they have the secret to one of the best soups in this town but the only way in is through of a secret passage, are you ready every time? every time you want to go to the kitchen you have to move the kitchen hello, the reason we have come to China with a little Spanish is to try something called C deata, this is a special soup made from a special part of the body in the pork, I'm talking about the cankles, right here we can see a big beautiful portion that is already cooking and it looks like a rich, creamy and delicious broth, that big piece of pork goes into our bowl along with some of this Creamy broth, oh my goodness, that.

It looks delicious please stop feeling it here we have our tomato that's all the preparation unwrap it I'm ready to leave the kitchen here I go the seas open for me and the door closes again for eternity very good friends we have a great great end here because after this I can't eat anymore and we also have this child right here. It's the quickest way to get kids to go away, just give them unwanted attention. This is the umita. Many countries have some version of a tomale. It's essentially some kind of carbohydrate wrapped in some kind of husk here it's corn wrapped in a corn husk and boiled it's a little sticky tastes a little like creamed corn I like it, it also tastes like a lot of other condiments but there are a few different ways in that you can eat this one is with this, sugar or sugar, sorry, I speak a little Spanish, hit it with a little sugar, take a cheesy bite M, it's bringing out some of the natural sweetness of the corn, although what's unusual is you you.

We can also have it with tomato and onion. We have tomato. We have corn. Hit it with some onion. Greetings. Oh, from here we have our final meal, calo deata. This is a beautiful bite, nice soft tendon, and it's been cooked for so long. sticky, okay, let's try it 10 out of 10, it's more than gelatinous, let's try some of this creamy broth, slightly salty, pork, it's full of collagen, guys, brothers, husbands, do you have a wife or a girlfriend who every night drink a little bottle of collagen? waste of money feed her this every night this is the perfect way to end the day so from here let's go out and tally it all up and see if we actually spent over $100 on street food guys today I tried Spending $100 on street food here in the city of Santiago in Chile was difficult yes, but I achieved my goal no.

I spent about $83 and actually bought a whole bag of horse meat and I didn't even win the
