“Old stuff works, Juan” could easily describe this series that the Centro Cultural Recoleta has been hosting every Friday in May. The idea comes from “midnight movies,” a phenomenon from the 70s consisting of cinema gatherings to watch certain movies.

You’ll find no shortage of ways to celebrate this food holiday in Buenos Aires. This Thursday, May 29, is World Burger Day—and we’re highlighting two of our favorite options.

A more classic choice: Arde, which has the vibe of a traditional porteño bodega with a modern twist. Their Cheese Bacon burger features a 140g patty (a blend of short rib, ribeye, and bacon), double cheddar, crispy bacon, and house-made potato bun.

A bolder option: the Japo Burger at Mixtape, the rooftop of restaurant Haiku. It features a juicy pork smash patty with hot cheddar, teriyaki caramelized onions, kimchi, Thai sauce, and homemade mayo, all on a soft potato bun.

Details: To reserve at Arde, call 4708-1229. For Mixtape, use this link.

Where: Arde, Pedro Ignacio Rivera 4999; Mixtape, Franklin. D. Roosvelt 1806.

We love when two great restaurants team up for something special. This Thursday, Gordo Chanta—a trendy pizza spot in Villa Crespo—will host Mar Díaz from Amén Ramen, a Bogotá-based Asian restaurant with Colombian ingredients making waves in the food scene.

Dishes on the menu include fish crudo with orejero and catara (Colombian ingredients), tonkotsu carbonara ramen, kimchi and dan dan pizzas, and to finish, a sour guava meringue—Colombia’s answer to pavlova.

Details: Gordo Chanta doesn’t take reservations, so arrive early and bring your appetite for bold flavors.

Where: Juan Ramírez de Velasco 1200, Villa Crespo.
