Nobody seems to understand or know why the Dominican Republic has a hamburger with the name Chimichurri, an Argentinian named salsa. The Dominican Chimi and Chimichurri are totally 100% different items. None the less, both scrumptuous.  
 Chimi, the Dominican hamburger, is called colloquially Chimi, in Manhattan as well as the island of the Dominican Republic. 
PRONOUNCED: THI MI ( the Ch is a very soft THI  as in thought ); not chimi; and the same THI MI CHUR RI  pronounciation for THI MI CHUR RI.

	I lived in the Dominican Republic in the 70's and 80's when the Chimichurri burger got its start. Two Argentinian guys started charcoal grilling "American" style burgers in the front yard of their apartment building on the Maleccon (Avda G Washington). This was unique to the DR at the time since the only othe buger that was being sold was at Papaterra's store downtown. To American tastes, it was not very good. To distinguish the real burger from the Dominican patty, the Argentinians called it chimichurri (a catchy monicure). Upper class Dominicans loved the Am burger since they had thought that the patty they were used to tasted the way it did because of the meat quality. Little did they know that if mostly left alone, their gound beef tasted like Ameican burgers. The Argentinians eventually disappeared but the name stuck. The buger again changed to appeal to the tastes of the general population.
