đChum Burgers, MedellĂn
One of my friends had just flown in so we decided to grab a bite. I was in the middle of that familiar burger craving. My research before leaving didn't offer too many results. I found a bunch of fast food places that offered burgers and some restaurants that called sandwiches burgers. Chum Burgers was a place I found on Google Maps after reaching MedellĂn. I asked a couple of people in MedellĂn for burger recommendations and a few confirmed Chum Burgers.
After a short cab ride, we got to this place in the late afternoon. It was fairly empty with more staff than patrons. Like many places in MedellĂn, the place had a little enclosed patio with tables and fully open doors leading to some indoor tables. The menu was in Spanish with English captions.
For beer, I had the Aguila Pilsner. It's a hundred-year Colombian light beer. It's the type of beer you drink instead of water in a warm climate.
Sweet Bacon y Aguacate Burger at Chum Burger
This is a fast food-sized and style burger. It's a 3.5oz smash patty with some decent fat content. If I had to guess, 80/20. It comes in a lightly toasted white squishy bun that holds together for the small burger. The avocado brings some creaminess that works well with the crisp bacon. The bacon comes glazed in a jalapeno jam. The jam is sweeter than spicy. Lettuce and tomato to round it out.
You probably don't go looking for a cheeseburger in MedellĂn like me but if you did, this would scratch that itch. I wanted to try more burgers as there were a few more places I dug up. Next time!
