Food Trip With Todd English’s Peru trip nominated for James Beard House Foundation Award.

Congratulations to Todd English for being nominated for a prestigious James Beard House Foundation Award!

Todd English and his crew from PBS’ Food Trip with Todd English recently spent several days with Aqua Expeditions’ Executive Chef, Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, exploring the Peruvian Amazon and its unique cuisine. The 30-minute piece they filmed in Iquitos and onboard the M/V Aqua — along with the 30-minute piece they filmed in Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley — secured the nomination for a 2010 James Beard Foundation Broadcast Media Award for Best Television Special.

The James Beard House Foundation will hold its annual gala event on May 2, 2010, in New York City to announce the 2010 award winners.

Good luck to Todd and his staff; or as we say in Spanish, “buena suerte!”
