The overall consensus: Peas do not belong in guacamole. Even President Barack Obama tweeted, “respect the nyt, but not buying peas in guac. onions, garlic, hot peppers. Classic.”
\nTo her defense, it actually wasn\u2019t her recipe. It was the creation of acclaimed French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Ian Coogan, his chef de cuisine at his New York City restaurant, ABC Cocina. The controversy titled as “Peagate,” continues to make headlines and ABC Cocina still has a Spring Pea Guacamole on the menu.
\nTo commemorate the second anniversary of the uproar, La Jolla\u2019s modern Mexican restaurant, Puesto, 1026 Wall St., has launched their version of the guacamole. Their\u00a0Peagate\u00a0Guacamole ($12)\u00a0is served with a side of freshly made tortilla chips and mixes\u00a0avocado, cilantro, onion, fresh squeezed lime and orange, chile habanero plus sweet peas and grilled spring onions.\u00a0The special guacamole can be found on the menu through\u00a0June 6.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
