Inspired by the iconic competition in Buenos Aires, this event brings together the passion of Argentine grilling and the vibrant Latin community thriving in South Florida.

Featured Grills & Outdoor Cooking Brands You’ll See in Action

Tromen – High-Performance Woodfire Cooking

Tromen is known for efficient heat management, advanced airflow systems, and robust steel construction. These units are designed for serious fire enthusiasts who want both control and flavor. Perfect for open-fire cooking and modern outdoor spaces.

Big Green Egg – The American Icon

The Big Green Egg is a legendary ceramic cooker that can grill, smoke, roast, and bake. At the event, it stands as a versatile counterpart to open-fire parrillas, showing how different cooking technologies can coexist in the same backyard.

Argentine vs. American BBQ: What’s the Difference?

One of the most interesting takeaways for attendees is understanding the difference between Argentine-style cooking and popular American BBQ approaches from brands like Weber, Traeger, Blaze, or Napoleon.

What Argentine Grills Offer

Real wood-fire flavor
Adjustable-height grates for heat control
Multi-zone cooking with embers
Open-fire, visual experience
Focus on simplicity, material quality, and technique

What American Grills Are Known For

Convenience and speed
Temperature automation (especially pellet grills)
Gas or pellet-based systems
Fast heat-up times

Both worlds have their strengths. But when it comes to deep, smoky, primal flavor, nothing matches cooking directly over real fire—and that’s exactly what this event celebrates.

Activities & Entertainment for the Whole Family

The Argentine Asado Championship is not only about competition; it’s a full-day experience. You can expect:

Live entertainment and music
Food and drink vendors
Outdoor brand exhibits
Family-friendly open spaces
Interactive cooking demonstrations
Cultural elements that highlight Argentine traditions

It’s the perfect weekend plan for BBQ enthusiasts, families, and anyone who enjoys outdoor living and authentic flavors.
