PSA: Customs officers do not like it when you try to bring a duffel bag full of 40 vacuum-sealed, frozen piranhas into Los Angeles.
A piranha caught in Peru, and chef Virgilio Martinez at his restaurant Central in the capital city of Lima.
The chef landed at LAX this past week to cook dinners at Somni and at Vespertine as part of the Los Angeles Times’ month-long food festival Food Bowl. In his luggage when he landed were 40 piranhas. When the chef was going through customs, officers opened his bag and “they went into a panic,” Martinez said.His attempt at humor landed him in a private interrogation room where he was questioned by additional officers.“I'm doing a special dinner with a friend who I really respect and I’m going to do a dish I really enjoy doing,” Martinez says he told them.
