The hamburger inspired by Pablo Escobar that generated controversy for excuses to crime

Burgers have become a global boom. And faced with such competition, more and more are those who dare to propose creative themes to differentiate themselves. But it seems that a bar in Australia has crossed a line that Colombian citizens have described as an offense. It's a dish inspired by Pablo Escobar: the decoration is a supposed line of cocaine and a counterfeit of 100 dollars.

"The Escoburgers of Pablo", as they named the place of the meals in tribute to the leader of the cartel of Medellín, is located in the city of Melbourne. Among your many options, offer "The Boss Burger", in a pun of words relating to the lord of drugs.

But this clbadic hamburger has two details in particular that have sparked controversy. The dish comes with a bag with garlic powder, so that the guests decorate the bread by simulating a line of cocaine. And, as if that were not enough, with a $ 100 bill so that they could also stick it in the bread.

The owners of the bar are very proud of their proposal. One of them, Tom Elliot, pointed out that the menu pretends to be funny. While his partner, Vaughn Marks, argued that it sounded like an original idea. "That's how most Australians see things," he said.

However, the irony they used in their hamburger was not well received by Colombian citizens. And his discomfort was noted in the hamburger's social networks.

"Who the hell makes idol a drug dealer and puts a rolled note in a hamburger?" , wrote a user. "I hope that one day the owners realize how offensive your restaurant is"stressed another.

But the bar owners defended themselves from criticism and claimed that they were not promoting any type of crime. "We do not endorse or encourage Pablo Escobar or his actions. We are Australians and we know how to laugh with a good word game. Hard not to offend someone in 2019, "they said in a statement. they will not change the name trade or its dishes.
