Did you know the story behind our BBQ pulled pork empanadas? 🥟🦊
Since we started our catering business, empanadas have always been a customer favorite. The flavors that we offer are inspired by traditional Argentine fillings. However, in 2023, when the 4th of July was approaching, our team had a meeting to plan a limited-edition special for the occasion. We thought it would be a great idea to create something that blended Argentine and American food cultures, and that is how the BBQ pulled pork empanada was born!
The BBQ empanadas became a new favorite instantly! We ended up making many more than we had initially planned because they were selling out by the end of the day. Independence Day passed and we were happy to see how everyone loved that year’s special. And that’s exactly what it was supposed to be: A limited-edition empanada for the holiday. The problem? Customers kept asking about them afterwards, and we had to explain that they were not available anymore. But months passed and customers kept asking about them... A LOT. Some called, some insisted, some even begged! 😂 So… we had to listen!
We decided to make the BBQ pulled pork empanada a permanent part of our menu, and ever since then, it has been available at our storefront as our 7th empanada flavor.
After all… the customer is always right! ❤️
