Netflix’s short documentary, A Tale of Two Kitchens, recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, focuses on Cámara’s two restaurants, San Franciso’s Cala and Mexico City’s Contramar

Teaming with Jessica Koslow, the mastermind of an all-day-breakfast at Squirl Café on the East Los Angeles’s Side, Gabriela Cámara is set to open at the Proper Hotel in Santa Monica in late summer.

Cámara first opened, what now has become Mexico City’s premier seafood establishment, Contramar in 1998. Then four years ago, she opened Cala in San Francisco, and soon she and Koslow will debut Onda.

“I really look forward to people in Santa Monica having more leisure time in a way or lingering between say breakfast and lunch or having a later lunch that meets with an early dinner with someone else,” she recently told Lamag.com

When asked how she and Koslow mesh as chefs, given their different styles, she stated, “I think we’re going to find an Onda style. We’re in that frequency. The two of us resonate with similar things. And, I think we’re going to find that way of translating it to Onda through the food.”

Cámara recently released her first cookbook, “My Mexico City Kitchen: Recipes and Convictions” (Lorena Jones Books). The book celebrates a particular style of cooking she has honed since moving to San Francisco from Mexico City in 2015 to open Cala.

It was reported in the SFChronicle.com that this summer, Cámara, and her ten-year-old son will be moving back to Mexico City so she can serve as an adviser to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. 

Netflix’s short documentary, A Tale of Two Kitchens, recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, focuses on Cámara’s two restaurants, Cala and Contramar. Her success at Cala has opened the road for her to expand in the U.S. and now runs two Tacos Cala locations in San Francisco. Next, she and heads to Los Angeles to launch Onda.
