Enrique Olvera, born in 1976 in Mexico City, is an internationally renowned Mexican chef known for his pioneering role in elevating Mexican cuisine to haute cuisine levels. Founder of Pujol, a restaurant that has earned a prominent spot among the world's top 50 restaurants, Olvera has successfully reinterpreted traditional Mexican flavors with a contemporary vision and meticulous attention to local ingredients.

Biography

After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Olvera opened Pujol in 2000 in Mexico City. His work is distinguished by the use of Mexican techniques and ingredients, laying the foundation for a new perspective on rustic indigenous flavors. A quintessential example is the omakase taco bar he constructed in Pujol to showcase the art of tacos, elevating them to culinary jewels. His vision of Mexican cuisine is both irreverent and intellectual, elegant yet authentic.

Olvera has not limited his success to his homeland; he has exported his culinary philosophy to the United States with Cosme in New York and other restaurants like Atla and Damian. Additionally, he runs Eno in Mexico City, is a partner at Criollo in Oaxaca, and serves as the creative chef at Manta in Los Cabos. In 2018, he inaugurated Molino “El Pujol” to preserve the tradition of handmade tortillas with local corn, working closely with small Mexican farmers.

His commitment to sustainability and the valorization of indigenous ingredients is also reflected in the dish “Mole Madre, Mole Nuevo,” which serves a circle of mole aged for more than 1,500 days next to a circle of fresh mole, celebrating the depth and complexity of Mexican flavors.

Olvera is also known for his elegant interpretations of regional Mexican cuisine using indigenous ingredients and updating traditional recipes, such as the “Corn Husk Meringue” and “Smoked Baby Corn with Coffee Mayonnaise and Ant Powder” from Cosme. His influence extends beyond the kitchen, having been featured on television programs like Chef’s Table and The Final Table on Netflix, becoming a global ambassador of Mexican gastronomy.

The career of Enrique Olvera demonstrates how passion, innovation, and respect for cultural roots can transform traditional cuisine into a world-class gastronomic experience, influencing chefs and culinary enthusiasts around the globe.

"Local kid makes good. Matthew Tkachuk, Stanley Cup Champion. So how does that sound? Stanley Cup Champion?" "I think it sounds better and better each time I'm hearin' it. It's been—I think—almost 2 months, I don't even know? Time has been flyin' but it just—each day is more and more incredible thinkin' about it." "So you're here to throw out the first pitch with Jayson Tatum, you're both Chaminade proud, like, you knew each other back then, you were friends in high school, and you're still friends—tell me about that relationship." "Yeah, it's been really incredible watching him—I think we both started out in the league very similar years. I might've been a year before when he was at College but it's been absolutely incredible to follow along his journey, and his career. I still keep in touch every now and then. I know we've played Boston the last few playoffs and he's been to a few of the playoff games for me. I went to one of his playoff games last year when we were in Boston. So really, really cool just to watch him, it was really cool to see him play in person. I'm excited to see him, and throw out that pitch with him today."

"When you guys were younger—both obviously stand-out athletes—did you ever imagine you would be a Stanley Cup Champion one day? And he would win a NBA Championship with the Celtics? Did that ever cross your minds?" "No, I mean, he was way better at his sport than I was at my sport when we were that young... I think I had a pretty good idea that he was gonna be a star basketball player. I guess you don't really think about Championships at that time of your life. You always dream about it but do you really think its gonna happen? And for us to do it, you know, within a week or however long apart from each other, it just—what a great time for all of our friends and family, and people that are just supporting us in St. Louis. I feel like St. Louis with not having teams to—you know, in their city to root for, I feel like they really kind-of hopped on and rooted for us and the Celtics. That made us, especially being from here, made us feel really special." "City was behind ya, one hundred percent! Let's talk about the final. You guys were up three-zip, it goes to a Game 7. What's that like?" "It's not supposed to be easy! I feel like it wouldn't have made sense or worked if it, you know—wasn't that scenario. It was always gonna be a long series. For us to win the first 3 and then lose the next 3—I mean, that wasn't ideal but at the end of the day we were comin' back to our incredible fans in Florida for a Game 7 Stanley Cup Final. What an incredible environment! That is a dream game! You always talk about the Game 7s when you're younger, and those are the moments you dream of, and I got to live out a dream this year." "What was it like sharing it with your pop? You know in the postgame coverage, I see your dad all over the place, your brother, your sister, your mom—what was it like sharing it with them?" "It was amazin'! Just handin' the Cup to my dad on the ice afterwards was super special there—the moment where he was actually in the locker room after the game when, you know, friends and family were startin' to come down, and I got to hand it to him, we got to beer-shower him, he got to lift it up in front of all my teammates, they were all goin' nuts for him too! Because they know that he played such a long time, and unfortunately wasn't able to win one in his playing career but I think he would've, you know, traded that all and done it exactly the way it happened for one of his boys to win it. It was such a family—It was such an incredible time for our whole family and I'm so lucky to have such great support from them." "Fun to watch too! Last thing before we let you go. You look good in the Cardinals red, Cardinals cap—there was a time where your dad, Big Walt, liked the Red Sox... please tell me you're a Cardinal fan..." "I am a Cardinal fan! Yeah, that time is—I was a big David Ortiz fan so when he was on the team like he was...him and Albert [Pujols] were my two favourites so it's actually pretty cool I got to hang out with Albert over summer in a golf tournament—the ACC tournament out in Lake Tahoe. He was one of my sports heroes! Yeah, I've been a Cardinals fan ever since I can remember with Albert." "Congratulations on getting the Cup, thanks for the chat!" "Yep, thank you!"
