Noche Peruana en Mio

This past weekend Courtney and I went downtown to spend some time with my brother Miki. He was part of an event being held at a popular restaurant on Vermont Ave, Mio, to celebrate Peruvian food, drink and art.

The restaurant holds a regular event in which they invite and feature a Latin American Chef. This time around they chose Guillermo (Willy) González Arica (above) and seus chef Dr. Elmer Huerta, former president of the American Cancer Society, to whip up a series of tasty peruvian dishes. In addition, the event featured a great selection of Pisco cocktails made with Machu Pisco, a brand that has made it’s way into virtually every liquor store in the Metro Area.

Here’s an article that popped up on the web the day after:

La cocina peruana seduce a la capital estadounidense.
