Soto-Innes
is known for giving opportunities to mostly immigrant cooks ranging in age from 20 to 65, who she says would otherwise likely be driving taxis and working in laundromats. She thrives on empowering her staff and treating every personality differently and says her relative youth is something to embrace rather than feel ashamed of. In an industry dominated by men, she also runs a kitchen that is two-thirds made up by women .
In 2016, she won a Rising Star Award from the prestigious James Beard Foundation . At just 28, she is the youngest winner of The World’s Best Female Chef Award .
