When most people in the United States think of Peru, they think of one thing: Machu Picchu. Why do I feel comfortable generalizing like that? Because I just returned from a trip to Peru. No matter who I told about the trip, I could almost guarantee what their first question would be. “Are you going to Machu Picchu?” (Incidentally, the answer was no.)
What Peru should be known for, and already is in some circles, is their food. Tania has told me however that no one wants to read about something that they can’t do. So for the moment I’m going to spare you a detailed recounting of all the awesome things we ate while traveling. Instead, I’m going to use this opportunity to sing the praises of a Columbus restaurant that is a personal favorite of mine, and that, incidentally, brings some of the deliciousness of Peruvian cuisine home to our fair city. That restaurant is Si Señor.
