Panamanian chef Clara Icaza has worked at Manhattan hot spot Aquavit, and her nuevo-Panamanian menu includes signature dishes such as Turkolimano (grilled jumbo prawns, tomato and feta with lemon-ouzo vinaigrette) and squid risotto in a broth of octopus and roasted red pepper, all served in a pale-wood dining room and accompanied by an ambitious wine list.

They were followed on the stage by Tom & Jerry and a moderator who offered a prize for the right response to a quiz question: "Where did the Imam [Khomeini] deliver his first speech?" There were at least a dozen wrong guesses before someone ventured, "At the airport...
