PHOTOS: Venezuelan Street Burger (burger, avocado, chorizo, chicken, eggs, bacon, Roquefort cheese)


Sweet baby Jesus, yes. That's what I thought when I first watched this video of a burger/meaty sandwich bomb being made at a street cart in Caracas, Venezuela, and I didn't even know exactly what was being put on it. After getting the translation from AHT reader Pilar M., I still kind of wanted it, even though I thought it might kill me.

Here are the contents of the burger, appropriately named "La Diabla," or The Devilish: ketchup, mayo, mustard, onions, cabbage, shoestring potatoes, more ketchup, mayo and mustard, avocado, tomato, burger patty, chorizo, chicken, eggs and bacon, and a mountain of shredded Roquefort cheese. I know what I'm getting on my first trip to Venezuela. The video contains one utterance of "f**k" but is otherwise inoffensive, unless you're freaked out by excessively unhealthy burgers.

1. How the hell do you put chorizo and chicken on a burger?
Also, that thing looks like a heart attack on a bun. La Diabla, indeed.

3. We have a burger joint called "the works" where I live. They regularly have
roquefort or avocado on their burgers. Yummy on the avocado. Really good.
