Cooks from across Argentina fired up their grills on Sunday to compete to produce the best asado, the country’s traditional barbeque.
The annual federal tournament held on Buenos Aires’ 9 de Julio Avenue brings together representatives from each of Argentina’s 23 provinces as well as the capital.
Their grilled dishes were taste-tested by judges in the shadow of the city’s iconic Obelisk to be named the best in a largely omnivorous country which produces some of the best quality meat in the world.
In addition to the food, the national championship event also includes a folk music festival and traditional dances.
