Adorn Bar & Restaurant, located on the seventh floor of Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, announces the appointments of new Executive Pastry Chef Yudith Bustos Taleno. This new addition further elevates Adorn's commitment to creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation in both its culinary and beverage programs.
Chef Yudith brings creativity, discipline, and heart to her role as Executive Pastry Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, where she leads the pastry program at Adorn Bar & Restaurant. Known for her refined technique, artistic presentations, and thoughtful leadership, she crafts desserts that are as beautiful as they are flavourful, while mentoring the next generation of pastry chefs.
Originally from Costa Rica, Yudith fell in love with baking at a small neighbourhood bakery - a moment that sparked her culinary path. After attending culinary school, she worked in leading kitchens around the world, including the InterContinental in San José and several Four Seasons properties in Costa Rica, Dallas, Scottsdale, and Washington, DC.
Her passion for growth led her to train at Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris and London, experiences that shaped her elegant presentation and global perspective. During her eight years in Washington, DC, she deepened her commitment to excellence, collaboration, and mentorship, values that continue to define her approach today.
A dedicated mentor, Yudith fosters a kitchen culture rooted in learning and creativity. Just as she was supported early in her career, she now empowers young pastry chefs to grow with confidence, humility, and curiosity.
