from The Marketing Madmen · host NICK CONSTANTINO

In this episode of Marketing MadMen, Nick Constantino and Chef Arnaldo Castillo of Tio Lucho's explore Peruvian cuisine. Chef Castillo highlights common misconceptions about Peruvian food, sharing his journey from starting in the restaurant industry at age 15 to creating the La Chingana pop-up during quarantine, and ultimately opening Tio Lucho's. They discuss the Atlanta pop-up scene and the importance of strategic planning, marketing, and understanding restaurant operations. Chef Castillo aims to create generational wealth for his family, inspired by his godparents in Northern Peru. The menu at Tio Lucho's blends contemporary and traditional Peruvian flavors, incorporating local produce. They delve into the complexities of dishes like Hamachi Tiradito, corn fritters, and slow-poached octopus, emphasizing the blend of cultural influences. They also explore Chifa cuisine, a Chinese-Peruvian fusion, and Picarones for dessert. The conversation touches on marketing strategies and the impact of winning a James Beard award. Chef Castillo offers tips for visiting Lima, recommending Chinatown, catacombs, and top restaurants. Nick shares his experiences in Lima, highlighting major attractions and exceptional dining. He enjoyed meals at Kjolle, Materia, and Primos, and explored Nikkei cuisine at Osaka. Lima's cocktail culture, especially at Carnival, was a delightful surprise. Overall, the trip was rich in culinary and cultural experiences, showcasing Lima's vibrant history, diverse influences, and exceptional food.patreon.com/TheMarketingMadMen: https://www.nick-constantino.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
