[ti:Stay-at-Home Orders Lead to Changes at Argentina’s Steakhouses] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:01.12]People no longer join long lines to get a table at Don Julio, a well-known steakhouse in Buenos Aires. [00:11.56]Since Argentina's government ordered people to stay at home on March 20, the restaurant has had to change. [00:21.76]Don Julio has become a high-end butcher, with plans to sell street food. [00:29.08]Pablo Rivero, the owner of Don Julio, said the goal was to keep alive the feeling of a corner grill, or ‘parrilla.' [00:40.28]That idea, of a local eatery, is central to Argentine culture – much like a cafe in Paris or a pub in London. [00:52.08]"We are not going to lose it," Rivero said, "so it is a question of finding a way of getting through this." [01:01.72]Argentines have been told to stay at home unless they are considered a key worker or are buying food or essential goods. [01:13.52]The stay-at-home order has meant restaurants and cafes are closed, [01:19.96]while small bakeries, grocery stores and butchers remain open. [01:26.24]"The idea of the butcher shop is to give people a shade of Don Julio," said Rivero. [01:34.24]He said they would not deliver cooked meat because it was hard to keep up the quality. [01:41.56]He added that his business is making plans to sell street food. [01:47.72]"This way we can engage people in something that can represent an income until activity restarts," he said. [01:58.48]Rivero said his 100 employees were still working during the nationwide lockdown [02:06.00]- either in the butcher shop or helping to remodel the restaurant. [02:11.60]Gaston Riveira is the head of La Cabrera, another of the city's top parrillas. [02:19.60]He said the restaurant was experiencing difficulties during the lockdown, [02:25.44]which has been extended to at least May 24. [02:30.32]"We are in a difficult moment because there is no tourism and Argentines are not going out [02:38.36]because of the quarantine," Riveira told the Reuters news agency. [02:45.00]He added the restaurant had "transformed into a food factory" doing deliveries on a reduced menu. [02:53.48]The coronavirus crisis has hit international demand for Argentine beef, [03:01.12]with many restaurants closed, from Asia to Europe. [03:05.68]That information comes from Mario Ravettino, president of Argentina's meat exporters group. [03:14.96]Francisco Palazzo lives with his girlfriend in Buenos Aires. [03:20.48]He said it was important for people to be able to get a taste of normality. [03:27.24]Before the lockdown, the 28-year-old usually ate an ‘asado' mixed grill three times a week. [03:37.44]Recently, Palazzo said he bought cooked meat, sausage [03:42.52]and black pudding from a parrilla that was now doing take-out. [03:47.64]"It was late, and it made us want to eat an asado [barbecue] and continue with our old habits," he said. [03:56.24]I'm John Russell. 更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
