The American import par excellence has undergone a huge transformation in recent years.

The obsession with fine ingredients that has gripped burger-makers in New York and London for the last few years has caught on in the Spanish capital too, with happy results: our list of the best burgers in Madrid (and where to get them) includes 1950s-style American diners, signature restaurant versions, and even experiments with (gulp!) zebra, proving that Spanish versions of US cuisines are much more than just a load of old 'carne picada'.
