My Asadoras Argentinas Burgers<\/a> \u00a0Review comes with a spoiler. It’s terrific!<\/p>\n

I’ve had a great deal of satisfaction lately in exploring unique restaurants in small towns in the Upper Midwest.\u00a0 You stumble on to them and are almost tempted to say “what the heck is that doing here?”<\/p>\n

Such was the case in Oswego, IL, and finding Asadoras Argentinas Burgers. Oswego is 45 miles west of downtown Chicago, just off I-88. A bit more from Rockford, IL, 72 miles Southeast, I-39 to I-88.<\/p>\n

Asadoras (Spanish for “roasted” or “grilled”) serves char-grilled hand-pattied burgers (about 1\/3 pound, at least) with Argentinian style toppings, somewhat adapted for the American palate. We tried the Criolla Burger, which was topped with Mozzarella, salsa criolla, and chimichurri mayonnaise.\u00a0 Burger number two was the “Tipica,” topped with lettuce tomato, honey ham, cheddar, fried egg, and red bell pepper strips.<\/p>\n

Both were superb.\u00a0 Cooked perfectly, perched on an ultra-soft bakery roll that was still firm enough to hold the ingredients without collapsing in your hands. (Don’t you hate it when that happens? I sure do!)<\/p>\n

The primary side is a very unique extruded fry, which they call “side wedges.”\u00a0 By extruded, I mean these are made from a potato slurry and pushed through a mold to gain their unique shape.\u00a0 Very crispy on the outside, and pillowy inside, we opted for the chimichurri style, so the fries were decorated with dollops of the famous chimichurri sauce, as unique an Argentinian condiment as you can find.<\/p>\n

Although it’s served throughout the Western hemisphere now, its roots are solidly Argentinian, but by way of (most common story), a British soldier stationed there in the early 19th century. It’s (usually) a melange of finely chopped parsley, garlic, pepper, oregano, vinegar, and olive oil.<\/p>\n

The unique shape of the fries holds the condiment well.\u00a0 You can also opt for regular fries, paprika fries, or cheddar bacon. Optional side sauces include Criolla, Avocado Mayo, and Poblano.<\/p>\n

There are other sandwiches, and wings on the menu, a vegetarian sandwich and a kid’s menu.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of great burgers, this is worth a stop. Very friendly and helpful staff, too!\u00a0 \u00a0Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
