The problem is simply either a) the wrong kind of beef – after all, most of what’s served here is grass-fed free-range beef and is too lean to make a good burger; or, b) that the Argentines simply don’t understand burgers. I generally lean towards the latter, because there’s enough beef around that has fat to give the burger juiciness that they can make goods ones if they want – instead, they seem to opt for the thin, pressed patties that are roughly the size of a couple of CDs stacked together, and like much of the rest of their beef, of course, cooked way too long.

I’m with you, Dan. I think under the right conditions a great burger is positively therapeutic. Since Argentina is so beef-centric, are hamburgers popular there?
