A Drive-Thru In Uruguay Is Selling STEAK

When we go to a drive-thru in America, we are usually getting cheap burgers, fries, or other greasy dishes that don’t hurt our wallets. It’s quick, cheap, filling, and low in nutrition.

In Uruguay, instead of getting traditional fast food out of the drive-thru, you can get top-grade cuts of meat instead.

According to Munchies, this drive-thru is located in the upscale seaside town of Punta Del Este, and is attached to the recently opened Las Nenas Steakhouse. At the drive-thru window, you can order raw cuts of meat to cook yourself, or get your cut of choice grilled to order. The steaks are grass-fed, USDA certified organic, and free range – making this beef some of the highest quality meat you’ll get out of a drive thru.

There’s also some local sandwiches, potato-based sides like boniato (sweet potato), and even wine available at the window.

Customers can get their meat fix ordered ahead of time as well by using an app that the store offers, making it easy and convenient to pick up your steaks – cooked or raw – and enjoy the carnivorous pleasures that come with a solid piece of beef.

While this drive-thru is definitely WAY pricier than American fast food drive-thrus, its a super cool concept. Rollin’ up to the window and picking up steaks? Talk about class on the go.

I’d definitely love to see a drive-thru like this in the United States, but figuring out how to scarf down my steak in the car would be a challenge. If I ordered a steak at a drive-thru, there’s no way it’s making it back home.
