INCEPTION 0001 - CHEF LUCHO MARTINEZ - 1 MICHELIN STAR
CHEF/OWNER - EM RESTAURANT - MEXICO CITY
Originally from Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Lucho Martinez first began his professional cooking career at the tender age of 14.

A few years later he travelled to Mexico City where he was part of the award winning Quintonil restaurant team under renowned chef Jorge Vallejo and at Maximo Bistrot for chef Eduardo Gracia who Lucho considers a true mento
Nestled in the Roma Notre neighborhood of Mexico City, Em was essentially conceived as a product restaurant. With a menu rigorously based on the temporality of the ingredients, EM immerses diners in an authentic omakase experiencence.
In the past couple of years Lucho has cooked along side many of the world's top chefs and already has plans to cook in London, Tokyo and New York City at the James Beard House this coming year. In 2024 Em received their first Michelin star.
