Vote for my post for the Hawaii Food and Wine Festival!
The Hawaii Food and Wine Festival asked me to interview a local LA chef and I was thrilled to find out it was Chef Ricardo Zarate. Winner of the F&W Best New Chef in 2011, Chef Zarate has earned praise for modern Peruvian cuisine through his LA three restaurants Mo-Chica, Picca Peru and Paiche.
He talked about the parallels between Peruvian and Hawaiian cuisine which sounded like a perfect fit for the upcoming festival. My entire interview with the chef is up on the Hawaii Food and Wine Fest blog and they are running a contest for best article!
Read to find out more about Chef Zarate and please VOTE for my post! Voting ends on Saturday August 17, thank you!
