Rodolfo Guzmán aims to combine nature and cuisine at his Chilean restaurantBoragó. He runs a kitchen based on the Chilean territory and its seafood, products from the native forests, valleys and mountains, being respectful with what the Earth is capable of giving us along the seasons, sourced from the wilds of Patagonia to the Atacama Desert.
HavingtrainedunderAndoni Luis Adurizat Mugaritz, Chilean native Rodolfo Guzmánreturned to Santiago, to begin working on the concept ofBoragó. Using traditional methods used throughout manygenerations, dishes are cooked onrocks and ingredients are smoked over local timber. Rodolfo and his team have dedicated themselves to document the uses y properties of everything under the category of endemic Chilean life.
