Diego Salazar’s first time in a professional kitchen was as a dishwasher at Dr. Limon, brought in to work by his brother, Fernando. Although his love for food already had an influence over his life, it never seemed like a career option. Surrounded by a rich culinary environment, Diego fell in love with the industry and over a course of 10 years went on to discover his own personal style. From La Mar at the Mandarin Oriental, to Alter, and Darwin’s on Fourth, Diego began to piece together what was important to his culinary narrative. Pouring his heart and soul into the personally owned food truck, Ceviche Bowl, Diego discovered his philosophy, good food is an art form, a way to connect hearts through nothing but flavor.
