Lionel Messi
is capable of turning stainless steel into gold.
If you don't believe it, it's worth reading this story whose protagonist is the
great alchemist of world football
, who changed the lives of some entrepreneurs from
San Miguel
, in Greater Buenos Aires, who will now be known as the artisans who designed the grill in the one in which the world champion captain in Qatar 2022 makes his barbecues at his home in Miami.
It all started on December 10, 2023, when Guillermo, the head of this SME, received a message via Instagram from
Antonela Roccuzzo
, the partner of the Scaloneta captain.
“Hello, recently a friend bought you a grill and you sent it here to Miami, I wanted to see if I could order a larger one and send it to the same place,” was the text that the wife of 10 wrote in their first contact.
This is how the exchanges took place so that the chulengo became a reality.
The grill is portable and made of high-quality stainless steel.
That is a double strength: it offers resistance to corrosion and gives it unparalleled elegance.
According to its manufacturers, it is ideal for travel and has a cooking system that does not fail.

“We made a special design.
I spoke with Antonela and explained to her that we wanted to add some engravings.
Our idols are very humble people.
We talk through audios.
They were very normal, they decided to commit to the design and the details,” Guillermo said in conversation with Telenoche.
One detail, the legs of the grill are named after Leo's bras.
Antonela, Thiago, Ciro and Mateo.
As in life...
The Messis' message changed their lives.
“We started eight years ago, we have been rowing it.
We believe we have created a stellar product, balcony grills did not exist and we reached number one.
When we saw the message we couldn't believe it.
Here in the workshop everyone was excited,” she added.
