A2: Food

Writing a column in The Atlantic, Zingerman’s co-founder Ari Weinzweig describes the “soul of Peruvian cuisine”: “I like it a lot when we make some small improvement in a long-standing, popular product to make it even better still. And I get really excited when we’re able to get some really amazing but almost unknown (in Ann Arbor) traditional foods from other parts of the world to work with here. I’m writing here with that last one in mind: I’m super psyched that this great traditional chile has arrived in Ann Arbor from Peru. Aji amarillo means ‘yellow chile,’ but don’t let the rather mundane literal translation lead you to underestimate its import in its homeland.” [Source]
