  • José Andrés Brings the Wonders of China and Peru to the Nation's
    For immediate Release Contact: Maru Valdés (202) 638-1910 x 247 [email protected] José Andrés Brings the Wonders of China and Peru to the Nation’s Capital October 28, 2013 – José Andrés, the chef who introduced America to traditional Spanish tapas and championed the path of avant-garde cuisine in the U.S., is opening a modern Chinese- Peruvian concept, in the heart of Penn Quarter in downtown Washington, DC. The restaurant will feature Chifa favorites–the cuisine known throughout Peru, melding Chinese style and native ingredients–with his personal and creative take on Chinese classics and this South American style. José is no stranger to weaving cultures together in a dynamic dining experience, he is well known for his interpretation of Chinese and Mexican food, culture and traditions at his award-winning restaurant China Poblano at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. At this new location, José and his talented culinary team will create authentic, yet innovative dishes inspired by their research and development trips to Asia and most recently to Peru, that have helped them master the various skills and techniques of this rising world cuisine. Highlighting the rich flavors, bold colors, diverse textures and unique aromas, the menu will apply time-honored Chinese techniques to Peruvian ingredients. From the classic Peruvian causas or ceviches, to Asian favorites like dim sums and sumais, the dishes will showcase Peru’s multi- cultural influences and ingredients in true Jose fashion. “Peru is an astonishing country. The people and the culture reveal so many traditions. The history with China is fascinating and the Chifa cuisine so unique,” said José.

  • High-End Latin Restaurants for Years—Why Has It Taken So Long for Silicon Valley to Catch the Nuevo Wave? Joya, Mezcal and Others Are Leading the Charge
    07.15.09 home | metro silico n valley index | silicon valley restaurants | review Nuevolution FIND A RESTAURANT The rest of the country has enjoyed the modern ambience and unique regional dishes of high-end Latin restaurants for years—why has it taken so long for Silicon Valley to catch the Nuevo wave? Joya, Mezcal and others are leading the charge. By Stett Holbrook advertise Photographs by Felipe Buitrago ADOLFO GOMEZ moved to San Jose from Oaxaca in southern Mexico 20 years ago. Although he worked in the restaurant and hospitality industry here, Gomez longed for the tastes of home. TRES ELEMENTS: Mez cal in San Jo se o ffers a mo le "I was always looking for a place to eat triplet (belo w) while Jo ya in Palo Alto serves a real Oaxacan food," Gomez says. three-way ceviche platter (above). Once, he found a little place in Redwood City that specialized in the distinctive cuisine of Oaxaca, but the restaurant quickly bowed to market pressures and dropped the complex moles and tlayudas in favor of carne asada and al pastor tacos, like every other Mexican restaurantin the Silicon Valley. "I like that food, but I always miss my cuisine," Gomez remarks. Only now, two decades after arriving in San Jose, can Gomez enjoy the flavors of home. That's because he opened Mezcal, his own restaurant in downtown San Jose, last November. The economy notwithstanding, Gomez says the timing was right to open a new kind of Mexican restaurant because of the dining public's growing sophistication and awareness of the distinctive styles of regional Mexican cuisine.

  • A Nation of Self-Lovers? - a Third (33%) of Brits Admit to Taking Themselves on a Solo Date According to Research by Krispy Kreme
    A nation of self-lovers? - A third (33%) of Brits admit to taking themselves on a solo date according to research by Krispy Kreme Submitted by: DeVries Global Wednesday, 12 February 2020 Krispy Kreme is encouraging acts of self-love this Valentine’s Day after new research commissioned by the brand revealed 72% of Brits think it’s important to love yourself before you can share that love with anyone else. The independent study revealed that almost half (48%) of the population believe that Valentine’s Day is not just for romantic love and 6.9million people would rather self-gift than gift someone else on February 14th. So this year, we are encouraging all of our customers to practice what they preach and follow their heart’s desire by gifting themselves with one of our heart-shaped doughnuts – because let’s face it, no one really wants to share their Krispy Kreme doughnut! Seemingly open to falling in love with themselves and fuelling the self-love movement, a third (33%) of Brits admit to taking themselves on a solo date. While half (50%) of people say their ideal solo date would be a chilled night in to themselves, only one in ten would be open to dining alone at a restaurant. Serial solo-dater, modern mystic and spiritual well-being guide, Giselle La Pompe Moore, believes more people should be a little more self-indulgent and embrace the freedom of a solo dinner date. She says, “It took me a while to build up the courage to go on solo dates at night, but now I'm all for it.
