Buenos Aires, the sizzling city of tango, steakhouses, “bodegones” (and cheese pizza) and…wait for it…incredible burgers! Yes, beyond the world-famous churrasco, a delectable revolution is brewing on buns.
From juicy, charcoal-grilled masterpieces piled high with chimichurri-drizzled provolone cheese to gourmet lamb patties nestled in artisanal sourdough, the burger scene in this vibrant city is as diverse as its tango rhythms.
So, put down your steak knife and grab your napkin!
