No sooner had we found ourselves in love with the chicken at Brasa in Berkeley, but now Jonathan Kauffman writes a compare-and-contrast review of three Peruvian chicken joints: the new Limon Rotisserie in the Bayview, Inkas, and Brasa. All told, the chicken he had at Inkas was the best and juiciest, and the ones he had at Brasa and Limon were either dried out or over-seasoned. He notes one particular dilemma with rotisserie chicken, though. “Finding a great one seems to be as much about luck and timing as it does about the cooks’ skill with the spit.” [SF Weekly, SFoodie]
