Now most people know Julio as a football player and some would call him THE Indonesian football player. But, he is more than just a football player. Football is something but not everything for Julio. Those who know him personally will know Julio has many interests outside football. He has also shown glimpses of that in his GQ interview about the essential things he always have to have. The first thing Julio is very passionate about other than football is food. Not just the eating but also the cooking and creating. During his time in Tijuana with the Luchadores, he spent a lot of his time outside of football exploring the local culinary scene and also learning how to cook it. Coming from a country that uses a lot of spices and herbs in its food, the Mexican cuisine that Julio learned in Tijuana was quite familiar to him. It proved to be a great learning experience for him as now he can make Mexican food at home and host his friends and family for authentic Mexican cuisine. Now that he lives in Chicago, Julio has found himself in an even more diverse food scene with different cuisines available in the city. Julio has been making a lot of pizzas lately, in particular New York-style and Neapolitan-style pizzas. However, he is starting to become intrigued by the Chicago deep dish pizza as it is markedly different from the pizzas he is used to making. So now in his free time, Julio has been frequenting different deep dish places and learning from his observation on what makes a good deep dish pizza so that one day he can call himself a true Chicagoan.
