"Padoca takes a more liberal approach to Brazilian cafe fare, with pão de queijos transformed into sandwiches like one stuffed with ham and cheese and another with tomato. The original “PDQs,” as they’re called here, are oversized and extra cheesy — two is more than enough for a full breakfast. Make sure to ask for them warm if a fresh batch isn’t available, and don’t skip out on the tiny baked pockets of chicken, mushroom, or hearts of palm known as empadinhas." - Robert Sietsema, Carla Vianna
