A Mexican has been named the best chef in the world, an award given by the same organization that names the 50 best restaurants in the world.
Daniela Soto-Innes, 28, who runs two of New York's most coveted Mexican restaurants, Cosme and Atla, has been recognized on previous occasions for her work with gastronomy. Today she becomes the youngest chef to win the title "Best Female Chef" in the history of the award.
At her young age, Soto-Innes has been a winner of the James Beard Rising Star Chef award in 2016 and her work as the director of Cosme, where she has been since its opening in 2014, has helped the restaurant to be awarded in the same way.
While the achievement has been highly celebrated, the controversy has been swift as the organization has named it the best in a category where only women compete and many wonder if women's culinary skills are not competitive with those of men?
However, the chef, born in Mexico City, is also being recognized for her teamwork by giving a fresh and youthful touch to the training of her staff and recognizing the work of immigrant women in her kitchen.
"In a male-dominated industry, she also runs a kitchen that is two-thirds composed of women," wrote the organization Elite Vodka, which awards the award.
By the end of this year, Soto-Innes and chef Enrique Olvera, owner of Cosme, plans to expand into California where they will open the Japanese-influenced Mexican restaurant, Damian.
