ne of the hottest trends in
dining is been Pacific Rim
fusion, bringing together
European, Asian and South American
ideas about flavors and ingredients. It is
indeed a good idea, as any Peruvian could
tell you; chefs from Peru have more
practice at this cuisine than anyone else
in the world. Their national cuisine was
formed by the foods of the Incas fused with
the techniques and spices of waves of Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and
Japanese immigrants.
You can try this complex and interesting cuisine at Inca Gourmet in
Huntington Beach, a destination for expatriates who come from miles
around to enjoy the cuisine that is the most popular in South America. The
menu offers stir-fries and noodle dishes showing Chinese inspiration,
pastas that remind you of Italy, and the famous ceviches and potatoes in
cheese sauce that are uniquely Peruvian. Can't decide? Then have it all –
enjoy the vast and frequently replenished buffet, and sample to your heart's
content. At only $6.99 all day midweek, $9.99 on weekends, it's the best
bargain in town. Try the wood-roasted chicken, lamb in cilantro sauce,
and wholesome homemade chicken-vegetable soup. Even the dishes that
look familiar will have an exotic flair in the spicing.
This is not a cuisine of particularly hot sauces, though the homemade
garlic-chili sauce on your table can add a kick for those who like it. Instead
spices are subtly used to create fragrances and flavors that are complex
and alluring. Pair your meal with soft drinks like chicha, the cinnamon-
infused fruit punch that is the Peruvian national drink, or an Inka Cola,
the fruity, bright green soda that bears no resemblance to cola drinks from
the Northern hemisphere. Or you might select from the reasonably priced
South American beers and wines, available by the bottle or the glass.
For those planning a celebration, consider Inca Gourmet's banquet room,
an elegant space with crystal chandeliers where your party of up to 120
people can enjoy complete privacy – there's a separate entrance so you
can welcome your guests in style. You are welcome to bring your favorite
live entertainment, or they can arrange a Peruvian band to really get in the
spirit of things. Your party can choose from the buffet or have elegantly
presented dishes from the menu – either way, if you book a group of 50
or more there is no rental charge for the room. Inca Gourmet has hosted
weddings, anniversaries, birthdays,and other events for the South
American community, and now they're ready to welcome you. Whenever
you stop in, either all alone or with a hundred friends, you will get a warm
welcome and exceptional food at a moderate price.
Join them any time the welcome will be warm and the food tantalizing!
Inca Gourmet is at 15070 Edwards Street, at the
corner of Bolsa across from the Westminster Mall.
Open midweek 10 AM – 8 PM, weekends
10:30 AM – 9 PM – later hours available for
groups and private parties. Children
welcome, wheelchair accessible, private

of Special Congressional Recognition' in March, Schoendorfer added, "Run
for Mobility has become a cornerstone of our annual fund raising efforts
and would not be possible without the support of the entire Surf City
Marathon management team."
Globally, Free Wheelchair Mission has manufactured and shipped 521,000
wheelchairs to 77 countries since it was launched in 2001. While conventional
45 wheelchairs can cost between $500 and $30,000, Schoendorfer, a mechanical
engineer, developed an inexpensive version; a simple contraption made from a
plastic lawn chair and 24-inch mountain bike tires.
"It's truly amazing to think that our race in Huntington Beach has impacted
so many needy people across the globe," said Surf City USA Marathon
General Manager Amy Tomchak. "There are few opportunities to make such a
significant impact on so many lives and running for those who can't is a great
way to make the race more meaningful for everyone involved."
The 15th Surf City USA Marathon is held on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 6,
2011 and plays host to over 20,000 runners from around the world. Staged in
front of The Waterfront Beach Resort, a Hilton hotel, this exclusive oceanfront
course runs on Pacific Coast Highway, past the famous Huntington Beach Pier
and winds through the surfing beaches that define Southern California. Weekend
the race as raised more than $1.8 million over the past six years and distributed
nearly 38,000 specially engineered wheelchairs to needy and developing
nations. More information is available at www.runsurfcity.com.
