Hi, my name is Byron (the Werito) and this is my legacy! My love for international cuisine started as a young child growing up in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. The Hispanic influences I was surrounded by as well as being an American gave me a very different perspective on the different flavors of life and food. Until now, I was never given the opportunity to attend chef school, but I am embracing it! I have had many experiences and adventures including my service in the United States Navy. During my time in the Navy I was able to travel around the world from Japan to Australia sampling many culinary treats. I have always loved cooking with many different flavors and cuisines from around this world. Now living in Peru, I am married to an amazing Peruvian woman. She is an inspiration, challenging me to never ever give up until I have achieved all my goals and mine was to be a chef! Now, let me explain more about my show! I grew up with many different Hispanic influences with my family and I have always been called "Wero" or Gringo or Guero by them! So, this name stuck and I wanted to make a fusion of this name. These experiences brought me to new adventure – "The Werito Show" which is now being picked up by Tigo Tv a Peruvian cable channel here in Lima Peru, to be aired soon. Before it begins, I believe that every small business and restaurant should be given the opportunity to have a voice! I believe in bringing a voice to small businesses that share a common goal. In support of this, please look up Tigo Tv on Facebook and please like and share. Sharing is caring! I want to do my part to help them become an international voice. The Werito Show will showcase the fusion passion within the Peruvian culinary community. All are welcome - from the cleaners to the chefs to the customers, so that we can cherish the culinary world together. Everywhere you go all should be welcome, embrace our differences and learn from each other,
