The IV Spanish Hamburger Championship, renowned for selecting the nation’s top burgers, has crowned the winner of this year’s edition: the Old School 1980 burger from Argentinos Burger, situated in A-Estrada, Galicia.
The climactic showdown of the 4th Spanish Burger Championship, hosted at the Estrella Galicia MEGA Museum, was brimming with tension and anticipation. Among the 15 finalists, including a contender from Tenerife, each crafted their delectable burgers for a distinguished panel of judges.
The jury, comprising Madrid Fusión president Don Jose Carlos Capel, gastronomic advocate Doña Alejandra Ansón, and Michelin-star chefs Don Pepe Solla of Casa Solla, Don Fernando Agrasar of As Garzas, and Doña Iría Espinosa of Arbore da Veira, conducted a blind tasting. Despite the tight competition, the verdict was rendered:
