For some artery-clogging reason, fried chicken is the most popular fast food option in Bolivia. By a lot a lot. The fried chicken phenom is such a part of the popular culture that when I went to a superhero party a month or so ago, no fewer than 4 people came (separately) dressed as "Super Pollo Copacabana." Pollo Copacabana is a well-known chicken place with ridiculous chicken mascots outside of all of their restaurants who either draw people into the restaurant or scare the shit out of kids/me.
Yesterday the fried chicken craze soared to new heights in my eyes when I walked past a place past which I walk everyday but hadn´t noticed. The name: Pollo Bras y Bros. I don´t have any idea what that could mean in Spanish. Maybe it´s a shortening of "brasa" which means "grilled" and "broaster" which means "broaster"...but I will be reading that sign in English from now on regardless of intended meaning.

ReplyDeleteDo they sell a fried chicken sandwich with the chicken acting as the bread? Haha. KFC has those double down sandwiches...2 pieces of fried chicken with bacon and condiments in between. Mmmm.
