On Sunday, June 11, internationally-acclaimed Chef Gastón Acurio is coming to the Magic City! And when he does, he’s kicking-off a three-city summer tour to raise money for Pachacútec Culinary Institute—his Peruvian-based culinary school for underprivileged students in Pachacútec, Peru. Founded by the esteemed chef in 2007, this school provides classes about the history of Peruvian cuisine, kitchen techniques, nutrition, and the English language, and is led by some of the great masters of Peruvian cuisine.
Taking place on Brickell Beach at Mandarin Oriental, Miami {500 Brickell Key Drive, Brickell Key; 305.913.8358}, Cebiche Gang with Gastón Acurio will bring together the talents of Miami’s most renowned chefs. On that list?
