Here's the trailer for Perú Sabe, an upcoming documentary by Jesús María Santos about Peru and its food culture. The film follows Peruvian chef Gastón Acurio as he shows Ferran Adrià the booming Peruvian food scene, particularly focusing on the up-and-coming youth cooking culture. It turns out 80,000 Peruvian youth are studying gastronomy, and as Adrià puts it in the trailer, "There are as many young people here who want to become cooks as want to become football players." New York chef Dan Barber and Danish chef René Redzepi also make appearances.
The film premieres on June 8 in Lima and June 11 in New York City.
