What's an Empanada?

Every country has one, in Jamaica they're called "patties", in Italy "calzones", the Israelis call them "knishes". We call them "Empanadas". So what's an Empanada? It's a mildly spiced, freshly baked sandwich served hot!!

We don't just "bake" our own bread; we do it like your grandma did, mixing it ourselves. For example, we put curry in our Jamaican dough. In our vegetarian dough we puree squash and add it to the dough. We fill the dough with freshly cooked chicken, beef, or whatever. Every ingredient is fresh and cooked by us. You can spend more money, but you can't get better tasting, healthier food than at Julia's Empanadas.
