Kosher McDonald’s in Buenos Aires
Thursday, 30 September 2010
The only Kosher McDonald's located outside of Israel can be found at the Abasto Shopping Center's Food Court on Corrientes Street in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This kosher version of the popular franchise is one of three McDonald's in the mall, but with no dairy products on the menu (read: no cheeseburgers or milkshakes).
Non-kosher Jewish visitors to Buenos Aires might want to try out the Kosher McDonald's anyway, in comparison to the ones they're already familiar with. A big difference in taste is noticeable, as the meat is the high quality ever-so-tasty beef that Argentina is famous for.
If you're a tourist wandering the mall, don't bother taking a photo of the McDonald's or you may be gently escorted away by a security guard. Without a doubt, the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association that killed 85 people is still fresh in people's minds.
