History and Origin
The Diane burger is a delicious and sophisticated variation of the classic American hamburger. Its name comes from Diane sauce, which has its roots in European cuisine, especially in France. Diane sauce is characterized by its flavor based on mushrooms, garlic, onion, and Worcestershire sauce, ingredients that give the dish a special and elegant touch.
In various Latin American countries, the burger may have different names, even though the preparation is similar. In Mexico and Argentina, it is simply called a "hamburguesa" (hamburger), while in countries like Chile and Colombia, it is also recognized as a gourmet option on the burger menu. This type of burger with Diane sauce is often a popular alternative in restaurants that serve American food or dishes with European influence.
The Diane burger stands out for combining the simplicity of ground beef with the richness of a sauce that enhances the flavor without complicating its preparation. Its history is linked to the rise of gourmet burgers, which emerged as an evolution for those looking for something beyond the traditional classic hamburger.
