, 38, is one of the young Latino chefs dictating the industry by taking it to a higher level with international flavors and techniques.
Like many other chefs , Salas love affair with cooking began at home, when he helped his mother cook or suggested some recipes.
"Something that my mother told me is that she read her recipe books every day to do different things and not get bored with food," the chef recalls.
After rejecting his father's suggestion to become a lawyer, Salas studied two and a half years at the Ambrosia culinary school and then he set up a dessert workshop, to start the Amaranta restaurant , along with his family, which has become one of the best restaurants in Mexico .
The chef emphasizes that Lona 's proposal is a 100% Mexican concept, with original products such as mole and chiles .
"What people like the most is salmon with mole, as well as guacamole with bacon and crab ," says the chef .
"Besides the mole enchiladas that are very popular, we also have the “tail of fire”, which is cabbage served with red pipian and a cauliflower puree ," he explains.
