ARGENTINA

ARGENTINA: "
Sky Ranch
2473 Dufferin St.
(416) 787-0491

National intel: It has almost been a quarter-century since this rusty soccer empire won a championship, when Diego Maradona, now the coach, was leading the team. But this year the squad boasts 2009's FIFA World Player of the Year, Lionel Messi.

The pitch: One of Toronto's few Argentine restaurants, it will be a popular spot for the city's soccer-obsessed Argentine community. Owner and chef Favio Barenbaum will be showing all the games, not just those of his native country (he hails from Buenos Aires).

The grub: Renowned for its parrillada, a carnivorous carnival of grilled meats (beef ribs, brisket, chicken, sausage, blood sausage and sweet breads), the Ranch also offers hearts-of-palm salad with salsa golf, flank steak stuffed with egg, and flan made with the country's signature dessert, dulce de leche (caramel cream).
