Tony in awe of the head chef of Cantina del Vigía, Federico Desseno, who here is preparing milanesa as it is done in Uruguay—covered in tomato sauce and lots of cheese.

Tony and Nacho tackle Uruguay’s national sandwich, the chivito, which is stuffed to the brim with steak, ham, pancetta, eggs, mayonnaise, and maybe if you make a special request, even a few vegetables. A valiant effort…
