Snapshots from Chile: Café con Piernas

I took some visitors from abroad (including my gf at the time) to cafe con piernas and they all thought it was quite interesting. Indeed you went to the tamest of them all (and the one that started it -- it was cafe caribe who changed the concept of a coffeeshop to the legs version).

The happy minute was popular at a placed called "Baron Rojo" (Red Baron), where the girls definitely wear way less clothing and at random times during the day they would loosen up their tops for a minute. (I think this place went out of business, but I'm not sure...haven't been back to Chile for a couple of years now).

Some of the tainted-window places do serve alcohol, the music is really loud, and every time they open the door, there's so much smoke inside that you could probably make bacon.

For me one of the most amusing parts was always the people who would hang out outside the Red Baron waiting for the doors to open so they could catch a glimpse without buying the coffee.

Huh, interesting. I think there are coffee stands similar to this in Washington St., according to a show (20/20, Primetime?) I watched, but it always included boob shirts... Because that's what American men are into... lol

@OneWallKitchen: I hadn't even seen a Robert Palmer video until you mentioned him. (This is what I missed in my early childhood, I guess...maybe not the biggest loss, haha.) And yeah, that would be pretty cool.

@nicoeats: Any less tame and it might not have been safe for Serious Eats. ;D And alcohol/smoke sounds more like what we would've expected. Maybe it's for the best we didn't check any of those places out...
