Charbroiled/Peruvian/charcoal/rotisserie-style chicken restaurants have popped up at a steady pace in the area over the last few years.

Calles, who graduated in 2011 has aspirations of attending M.I.T.

The graduate already accumulated more than a dozen credits at Montgomery College, and plans to get even further ahead by taking additional classes this summer.
