The Best Things We Ate This Week

"Golden Burger La Birra is an Argentinian burger spot that recently opened its first US location in North Miami, claiming to make “the world’s best burger.” And while it is not the world’s best, it is really, really good - and much better than I normally expect from a fast-casual chain. There are a borderline overwhelming amount of burgers to pick from - but I went with the golden burger, because it looked really gorgeous in its menu photo. It was pretty in real life too, with two patties covered in melted American cheese, finely diced onions, and a mayo-based sauce binding everything together. But the best part about this burger might be the buns they bake in house. They’re kind of a perfect burger bun - squishy but not soggy, and dotted with a light sprinkling of sesame seeds." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
