Overview

The savoury branch of Sydney's cult-favourite gelateria is at it again. Next up on the Messina Eats world tour is a South American collab. This time around, it's teaming up with famed Melbourne hospitality group San Telmo — which owns Palermo and Asado — for a two-night feast in Sydney on Friday, September 6 and Saturday, September 7

As usual, the party will go down in the carpark of Messina's Rosebery headquarters, which will, this time, be transformed into an Argentinean restaurant complete with a parrilla and asado firepit.

At midday and 7pm each day, the team will be carving up slow-cooked lamb and stuffing it in rolls with cabbage slaw and chimichurri ($15). There'll also be choripan ($14) — rolls of chorizo, chimichurri and salsa — loaded fries ($8) and three types of empanadas (three for $15): beef and boiled egg, sweetcorn and mozzarella, and pork shoulder and chipotle.

For dessert, always a highlight at a Messina-run event, there'll be deep-fried empanadas filled with dulce de leche ($9) served atop a scoop of fior de late gelato and leche flan with dulce de leche gelato ($9).

Messina Eats: The San Telmo Group runs from 12–9pm (or sold out).
