Who better to choose lunch than an aunt calling from Peru? In "Try Guys Ultimate Peruvian Taste Test," Zach Kornfeld phones Maggie's aunt Rebecca for recommendations, then joins Keith Habersberger and Ryan Garcia in finding the dishes around Los Angeles. The episode is sponsored, with a live phone-translation feature built into the calls.

Rebecca starts them with pollo a la brasa. At Pontu Chicken in Santa Monica, chef Richie Lopez introduces the roasted chicken and arroz chaufa before the tasting begins. Zach doesn't hedge his verdict: "This is the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had in my life." There are sauces to sample and pickled vegetables shaped like animals, too.

Lonzo's brings lomo saltado, causa, Peruvian pesto pasta and anticuchos, with Rebecca explaining beforehand that the latter are made from cow heart. The final recommendation takes them to Ricardo Zarate at The Hummingbird in Echo Park for ceviche. It's a food tour with a family connection, rather than simply another menu to work through.

The upload reached about 180,000 views and is the channel's strongest source of daily viewing right now. In the comments, Peruvian viewers connect the dishes to family cooking and memories of home; others ask for more tours drawing on the cast's different cultural backgrounds. One particularly specific request: bring Jared along.

The week's other upload digs up behind-the-scenes footage of the Killer Dinner kitchen, with a question about what viewers want from Monique next season. Meanwhile, Keith's Universal Halloween Horror Nights tasting and Trader Joe's fall-snack episode remain among the channel's busiest videos.

Subscribers held steady, while daily views are running above the channel's usual pace. Among similarly sized comedy channels, Viva La Dirt League and Jake Ceja had much larger viewing weeks. For The Try Guys, the newest draw is a meal chosen across continents, with Rebecca supplying the next order.
