Comfort food is synonymous with home, according to Patricia Bustamante, who s spent two years at the reigns of Pochito, a Chilean street-food café in Botany in Sydney s southeast.
The eatery is known for its baked empanadas and comforting food from the South American country. We want that when somebody comes here, they feel they re at home, Patricia tells SBS Food. The philosophy of this business is that you eat our food and say, My mum used to do it in this way . We ve had young Chileans who come in and they order our food and sit down, and I see them cry. And I ask them What s wrong? and they say, This empanada, it s like how my mum makes it , she says.
