Sharing an interesting documentary about famed Peruvian chef Gaston Acurio

Posted by MoneyBlogger on Sunday, August 31, 2014

This is an excellent documentary about one of Peru's well renowned chefs, Gaston Acurio. I heard about his fame through several Peruvian friends here in the U.S., and I have even ventured out to one of his U.S. based restaurants, La Mar, in San Francisco, Calif. The food was great (as expected) but I found the portions were a little small. Overall, LaMar's portions are acceptable considering the ambiance of the place, i.e. typical San Francisco fine dining type of restaurant. Don't go there expecting a family run diner or one of those "hole in the wall" restaurants that everyone on Yelp raves about.

However, this documentary gives a lot of insight into Acurio's inspirations and his method of creating dishes. It's a real treat to watch if you have some time. By the way, stay tuned for my next post, I'm considering going over the origins and modern preparations for Pisco Sour.
