Dear AHT: Where Can I Get a Good Burger in Buenos Aires?
Clicking in to the AHT inbox today, we've got this plea for help to find a good burger in the beef-loving land of Argentina. --The Mgmt.

Nearly four months ago I embarked on a journey from my hometown NYC to beautiful Buenos Aires, Argentina. Though it does not compare to NY, I have come to love many things about this city.
One thing, however, I have not come to terms with is their hamburgers. You would think a country with world-famous beef would have great hamburgers. This, unfortunately is not the case. This is not to say burgers are not popular here; they are everywhere. However, every burger I have tried here has been a dry, soulless hockey puck patty on a wonder-bread equivalent bun. Heinz ketchup is a rarity and you can pretty much forget about the option of pickles.
Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places. Perhaps there exists a shake shack-level burger paradise down a hidden alley or other unassuming location. For this reason, I am reaching out to you, the number one authority on burgers worldwide, to help me locate at least a decent hamburger in this meat-filled city. Please help and I will share your site and the idea of quality burgers from the beaches of Columbia to the mountains of Patagonia.
Thank you!

Dear Burgerless,
We're sorry to hear about the lack of good burgers in such a beef-dense land. Although those of us in AHT headquarters don't know much about burgers in Buenos Aires, hopefully someone reading your plea does.
If any AHT readers can help point Burgerless in the right direction, leave a comment!
