Chef Matteo Salas’ cuisine reflects is influenced by his European culinary education and his Mexican heritage, combining the techniques of European cuisine with ingredients found in Mexico. Inspired by the smoky añejo notes found in Casa Dragones Joven, Chef Matteo Salas creates a unique pairing of tempura “esquites” or toasted corn with oysters from Baja California, topped with “xoconostle” mayonnaise made with the fruit of the Nopal cactus. Chef Salas also designed special dishware to serve this remarkable appetizer.
