Burgers In Argentina

[camel]

I recently tried out a new burger place called The Burger Company in Palermo. It's on Honduras near Scalabrini-Ortiz, a few blocks from the tried & true Burger Joint. I ordered a "Bacon Blue Burger" without bacon, and they gave me a vibrating pager to let me know when my order was ready (how fancy). While I waited, I checked out the restaurant physically. It's pretty much the opposite of Burger Joint. It's very spacious, well-built, with two levels, kind of corporate feeling (multiple LCD TVs playing a "Burger Company" animation). It's like they took Burger Joint and made it corporate.

The burger itself was good, I'd say comparable to Burger Joint. I forgot how much I paid, but I think it was more than at Burger Joint, and I didn't order any sides. I think I still prefer Burger Joint, but if you don't want to fight for a place to sit down, you may give this place a try.

You mentioned Burger Joint six times in your post mate.
Does that mean something?

Yeah I consider it kind the reference for burger places around Palermo. I ate at Burger Company again today, and noticed the patties are a bit smaller than Burger joint (but they're still a decent size). The price was $110 for a Bacon Blue Cheese burger and a drink. My friend got a low-carb burger, which didn't have a bun, it had lettuce wrapped around it instead.

The other good burger place I know of is Tierra de Nadie in Caballito, but it's not as convenient for me - https://www.yelp.com...ie-buenos-aires

La Cresta makes great burgers. Their Chili Chutney is the bomb.
In San Telmo and Villa Crespo.

Burgers and Franks (Hot Dogs) many times go together at a U.S. cook out.
The other day I passed a new place downtown (Montevideo & Viamonte) called New York Hot Dogs
The signs in the window described 5 hot dogs for Manhattan,Brooklyn, the Bronx ,Queens and Staten Island
As a New Yorker it caught my eye .A frank is a frank but what seemed appealing were the different toppings for each one.
I plan to rry it out next week Maybe I'll pass the info on,if there's any interest.

Sorry the price quoted is not true. Its close to 8500 Bs. The black market rate is 1 usd = 1000 bs.
So close to 8.5 usd

Hi from 4th St. in the West Village ,NYC about 5 blocks from the Minetta Tavern and another 5 from the Corner Bistro at 4th and Jane St. Thanks to LINE54 for mentioning the latter.My family and I go there often.The burgers are not quite as big as Minetta's but equally famous in NY at only $8.00. Minetta's is usually so crowded with local trend setters and tourists that you can't get in.I just had a smoked sausage with 4 different relishes (un chorizo al plato) and an iced tea for U$D 10.64 about AR$ 165 at Mighty Quinn's Barbecue on the corner of Greenwich Ave. and 11 St. in the same neighborhood and very accessibly priced.Kind of an upscale self-service placeThe next time you're in NYC,please check it out.I'll be back in B.A .on Sept.28.

We ate at Quinn's and very good BBQ for very reasonable price.
