Downtown Kitchen Celebrates Diverse Peruvian Cuisine

Beginning September 2nd and running through October 6th, DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails makes its last stop on this summer’s Around the Globe Summer Tour with a final hurrah in Lima, Peru.

Peruvian food draws upon extraordinary biodiversity filtered through the indigenous Incan heritage, the rich culinary legacy of the Spanish, and later, the influences brought by Chinese and Japanese immigrants.
