SNEAK PREVIEW: PRESS RELEASE "OUR WAY"

You probably have noticed that we like to do things a bit differently. So sending out a Press Release was an opportunity to do something special. To that end we have put together a video that explains our new restaurant, Piqueo, its menu and a little bit of history about Peruvian cuisine.

The video is 15 minutes long (which I believe is too long) and we are working on cutting it down into more "digestible", smaller, pieces. But I was so excited about it that I thought of sending it to you as a "Sneak Preview" before sending it out to the media. I hope you like it:

SPECIALS AT PIQUEO

We are excited coming up with new specials. We hope you like them! For this week:

CONCHITAS A LA PARMESANA - $9

From the southern coast of Perú. Jumbo scallops flambeed in pisco, well seasoned and topped with parmesan cheese. Gratinated in the oven to medium rare. Just squeeze some lime juice and prepare for an experience!

Another of our own creations: 3 tenderloin medallions topped with three of our signature sauces: the Panca Demi Glass made with Peruvian Panca peppers; the Tequila and Epazote sauce; and our own Huacatay Sauce. Served with Mashed Purple Potato and sautéed kale.
