One tasty burger

JAKE DE PAUL: ONE OF THE BEST IN THE SOUTH SOUND  >>>

Asado-Cheeseburger I have to admit, I think the whole “deconstruction” craze in restaurants these days is a bit silly, sort of like Ranked Choice Voting. The idea is that you take something like a cheeseburger and serve it “deconstructed”: bun here, the meat over there, lettuce and tomato on the side, etc. what? Does it empower the eater?

I’m please to report that the Asado Burger arrives constructed, and damn tasty, too.

Asado grounds sirloin and spicy chorizo in house then charred perfectly to medium rare, the dresses it with a slice of fried, firm provolone, Serrano ham, and sautéed onions and peppers. The thick, sesame seed sprinkled buns are grilled and capture the ingredients in between.

The cheeseburger arrives on a long, rectangular dish with a cup of poblano aioli and soft yucca fries.

[Asado, 2810 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253.272.7770]
