"Bourdain travels to Peru with friend and chef Eric Ripert. The two have recently gotten into the chocolate business and they want to inspect the source: a remote mountain valley in the Andes. They are joined by chocolatier Chris Curtin as they set out to see all-white cacao beans, some of the rarest in the world. As they explore the country, Bourdain and Ripert try the local street meat, unsweetened hot chocolate, fresh ceviche, and an ant-based reduction sauce. Contemplating, meanwhile, his future as a chocolatier, Bourdain wants to know: Where does it come from? How is it made? Most important: WHO does it come from? And are they getting a good piece of the action? Or are the producers, as in so many cases, getting screwed over?"

Coque Ossio, one of the most successful chefs in Peru, spends weekends in Pucusana, a small fishing village. His mom, Marisa Guiulfo, is like Peru's Julia Child. They made food and pisco sours for Tony and Eric Ripert. Marisa opens the house every weekend for a large group to visit and eat. Bourdain ate: causa (terrine of seasoned mashed potatoes) filled with crabmeat, avocado, and yellow potato; tiradito (Peruvian dish of raw fish); scallop ceviche; drum fish braised in chicha de jora(fermented corn drink); rocoto peppers stuffed with ground beef and raisins, served with paria cheese Dinner dates: Coque Ossio, Marisa Guiulfo, Eric Ripert, Guiulfo’s friends and family

Unsure if this is the correct location. There was a scene on the show where Tony and Eric visited Mercado Central on Calle San Martin in the Marañón Canyon where they bought food to cook to feed their host, Don Elioberto, and his family. They made chicken and shrimp with peppers and onions, along with mashed potatoes and traditional Aztec hot chocolate. I could not find a Mercado Central on a street with this name on the map.
