Meet the Burger Master 2019's favorite hamburgers – Gastronomy – Culture

The Rocky Balboa of Chorilongo, in Bogotá, was born for the contest, in the image of the name that inspired it. Although this restaurant offers clbadic combinations of good ingredients, chef David Orozco decided to create a hamburger, with a riskier recipe, to participate in the Burger Master 2019.

He kept the meat of his hamburgers (mix of ancho and mature morrillo spice for 25 days) and the bread designed by Pan Tree, with the difference that he had two types of cheese (a white of Caquetá and one of yellow cheddar). The risk was in the hands of the Italian-American peperoni who inspired them to call it the name of the famous celluloid boxer.

With her, Chorilongo tops Burger Master's favorites list in Bogotá (Of these 23,600 units were sold). Second place went to Hamburger Hache and third to Burger Fries & Co. To complete the top five, they ranked La Xarcutería y Bícono.

But the women of Bogota are not the only winners. In each of the 12 cities where hamburgers participated, the audience chose their top five. Medellin, Barranquilla, Cali, Cartagena, Manizales, Armenia, Pereira, Ibague, Villavicencio, Cúcuta and Montería have had their favorite top burger since yesterday.

These figures are the effect of the Burger Master 2019, which, in its third edition, did not only taste hamburgers to the Colombian public – it is thanks to a price of 11 000 pesos per unit – but also that it was necessary to vote for the best.

Just over 2 million hamburgers were sold between April 29 and May 5. The task of the diners who made the rows, tasted and felt a bit of the food critics was to upload their top 5 list on social networks (with pictures proving that they had been eaten and etiquette # burgermasterco).

The next step, already in the hands of the team Tulio Recommends – the organizer of the event, led by Tulio Zuluaga, It was to compile the votes and announce the winners.

"I think the elections were very good," Tulio Zuluaga told El TIEMPO, who always claimed that his opinion did not influence the votes. The lists in all cities seem fair and honest. Those who sold the most did not win, nor those who had the most advertising strength. They won those who conquered the guests, those who presented the best proposals and served with authenticity, dedication and affection ".

Zuluaga added, "We Colombians understand the artisbad sense of burgers involved in the transformation of the Burger Master, and three years after trying millions of burgers, we are better able to choose. to entrepreneurs, no matter how big they are, they can show and succeed. "
