Loading ...Paraguayan At Arbol Cafe
Posted by Foobooz on January 18th, 2008
City Paper’s Elisa Ludwig takes a look at Northern Liberties’ Arbol Cafe, a Paraguayan restaurant with a sandwich to put the cheesesteak to shame.
For an intro to Paraguayan cuisine, look to the lomito. At Northern Liberties’ Arbol Café, the sandwich bears a striking resemblance to the Philly cheesesteak — the basic version is a golden, puffy Le Bus roll stuffed with slices of thin fried steak, a “broken” fried egg, turkey ham and melty Port-Salut cheese. It can be made even drippier with additional toppings, like fried onions and mushrooms.

The owners of the arbol cafe do not allow the servers they hire to keep their tips. Although they give the servers an hourly wage, they don’t allow the servers to keep their tips because they are meant “for tye house”. The hourly wage inclues serving, washing dishes, scrubbing floors and toliets, but after serving people and ensuring good service the owners make extra money. People who work at starbucks even get to keep their tips oj top of their hourly wage. Though the owners are nice, they have awful policies.
