Dishes mentioned
Empanada
A welcome empanada with an aperitif — the pastry is flaky like a Neapolitan sfogliatella. I think I could make an entire meal out of this.
Sesina Maturata 90 Giorni
A slice of beef aged 90 days, to accompany the empanada. It looks like a Neapolitan sfogliatella.
Salsiccia de Serdo
A pork sausage, cooked on the grill right behind me. They bring a little focaccia to the table too, also grilled. The rest of the sausage stays on the table.
Animella di Cuore
This is the main event at Don Julio — the heart sweetbread. It's a must, no question. Gigantic bite, enjoy it.
Entragna
The entragna — the diaphragm — and no more words needed. It's a big yes.

Buenos Aires: quando la GRIGLIA è religione 🇦🇷 🥩 · @ 20:00
A mega epic place that feels like the classic Argentine family Sunday spot. Super authentic, super genuine. On Sundays it's packed, so plan accordingly.
Dishes mentioned
Provoleta
There's a gentle crust that's basically plastic. Very good, this is your base layer. The heat is on top and the dish with the provoleta is underneath, so it's cooked upside down.
Vacío
Vacío is a great cut, very flavorful.
Entraña
Entraña is basically the diaphragm, one of the best cuts out there. Fibrous and juicy.
Flan
A nice flan to finish, since we were still feeling light.
Tarantela con Dulce de Leche
A big spoonful of dulce de leche. Good. Sweet and salty.

Empanada di Benvenuto
As soon as you arrive, they welcome you with an empanada and a glass of aperitif. It's already delicious. That little spicy sauce on top — I'm trying to snag some more of it. Once you've bitten, make a little opening to pour the sauce in. I don't have many comparisons, but this one is really good.
Cecina Stagionata 90 Giorni
We start with a 90-day aged cecina and some laminated, flaky bread on the side. I think I could eat a whole meal made just of this.
Pomodori con Salsa
These tomatoes with the sauce they're swimming in — I can't wait to try them. They're insanely juicy. I want to brush my teeth with this stuff — it's the best thing on Earth.
