Carolina Bazan, Ambrosia and Ambrosia Bistro

All in the Industry ®

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer has a special episode from her recent trip to Santiago, Chile, with Carolina Bazán, chef-owner of Ambrosia and Ambrosia Bistro in Santiago. Carolina opened Ambrosia with her family in 2003. With the help of her partner, sommelier Rosario Onetto, she began the Hidden Kitchen movement in 2012, focusing on market produce and seasonal ingredients, which led to Ambrosia’s new location and concept; a modern family bistro, outside of the classic gastronomic circuit, where fresh market products leads a seasonal menu that changes daily. In 2017, Carolina and Rosario opened their own restaurant, Ambrosia Bistro, located downtown with a very hip vibe and simple, seasonal menu. Carolina was named Best Female Chef by Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2019, and Ambrosia Bistro is currently #72 on The Worlds 50 Best Restaurants. Carolina is a contributor to Shari's new book, CHEFWISE: Life Lessons from Leading Chefs Around the World (Phaidon, Spring 2023). Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to have confidence in yourself; Speed Round, and Shari's Solo Dining experience at Ambrosia Bistro in Santiago, Chile.
