eating our way through Cusco, Peru
4th Best Restaurant in the World | Central – Lima, Peru
What a dream!
Condensing this 3 hour experience into a 10 min video was such a fun challenge.
Chef Virgilio Martinez’s Central is one of the best restaurants in the entire world. Central’s tasting menu is structured to celebrate and highlight different levels of elevation in Peru, from the Andes mountains to the Amazon rainforest. All of the ingredients are native to Peru.

eating at Maido | ranked no. 7 on the World’s 50 Best List
We had a wonderful experience at Maido, the 7th best restaurant in the world. We did not get a chance to do the tasting menu, though the a la carte options were still fantastic. Just another excuse to come back to Peru soon!

Can’t tell if I’m more likely to get struck by lightning or secure another reservation at Rose Mary…
Located in Chicago’s West Loop, Rose Mary is Chef/Owner Joe Flamm’s debut restaurant inspired by his Italian heritage and the bold, bright flavors of Croatian cuisine.
