Coming Up
Kitchen discipline, service rhythm, and execution under pressure were the early terms of Pedro Khalil’s training at Cordero in Caracas. That first post did not just mark a start point; it established the habits that shape later work in any kitchen-driven practice. From chef at Cordero to founder of Proyecto Ubre, the move shows a shift from operating within a structure to building one. The focus narrows from the day-to-day demands of service toward authorship, with Proyecto Ubre carrying the weight of that transition.
Where They Are Now
His current role is founder at the project. Proyecto Ubre remains the center of Pedro Khalil’s professional identity. The work is now organized around the venture he helped create, rather than the kitchen post that preceded it. In trade terms, the arc is straightforward: Caracas, Cordero, then a founder role built from prior service work into a project with its own direction.
