About this audio guide
This guide to La Nueva Chomba Picanteria in Cusco starts with a round clay pot by the window and the name it gave the restaurant. It follows chicha, the Andean corn beer, back to an Inca emperor and a ruined harvest, then to doña Augusta Huamán de Vega and the family of cooks she started more than fifty years ago. Best heard seated near the window, with a menu in your hands.
