Chefs Kim & Edgar Featured on ABC News Channel 6
April 17, ABC News — On April 17, ABC News Channel 6 did a 5-minute segment on the hot new businesses in town — including one of the best Latin American restaurants to open in 2010: Avenida.
The cameras went inside Avenida’s kitchen and watched as Chefs Kim and Edgar prepared some of their signature appetizers: Grilled Baby Octopus with Tequila Roasted Tomato Sauce, Garlic and Avocado and Queso Fondito.
“I was trained at the Culinary Institute of America, so I tend to cook by the book,” explains Chef Kim. “And I went to cooking school every day of my life as I watched my mother, aunts and grandmother prepare a meal for our entire family — dozens of people who ate three times a day in our home in Guatemala,” shares Chef Edgar.
“I’d call him more of a free-form chef, and it really works,” adds Kim. “His dishes are original and only use the freshest ingredients. Edgar has taught me a lot and our customers truly benefit from the blending of our two styles.”

Set in a historic Mount Airy home built in the 1700s, patrons will sit by the stone fireplace or on the romantic outdoor porch sipping margaritas and sampling Chef Edgar’s signature guacamole with homemade tortilla chips and salsa.
