Ethnic Comfort Food

First things first, I am a complete foodie at heart. I have waited hours (e.g. Ippudo and Magnolia Bakery) for delicious food and rarely do I have any regrets about it. Similar many of the other adventurous foodies out there, I am interested in trying the latest cuisine and cooking with obscure ingredients. This post showcases some of my favorite non-traditional comfort foods. And it just so happens that my more memorable comfort foods are served family style or typically shared with friends, which always results in a fun dining experience as well :)

Peruvian Cuisine
Clockwise: Roasted Chicken Breast, Corvina fish ceviche, and Salchipapa - grilled beef sausage and french fries. (Pio Pio Peruvian Restaurant)
