It's little wonder that when Westin built a luxurious, 30-story, sparkling steel and glass hotel in Lima last year (now Peru’s tallest building) at the cost of $130,000,000, they searched for a top chef whose talents would not be dwarfed by this iconic landmark.
The man they chose for the job was Peruvian-fusion wunderkind, Chef Rafael Piqueras, 36, who cut his culinary teeth on the likes of Antica Osteria del Teatro in Italy and Giuda and El Celler de Can Roca and El Bulli in Spain.
