Alain Ducasse, France

If you haven't heard the name Alain Ducasse before, we're genuinely surprised that you made it this far into this list.

He owns 36 restaurants around the world, but his pride and joy can be found in the Dorchester hotel in London, UK. 

Jannis Brevet, Netherlands

Brevet worked as a small-time cook until his wife bought one of the most famous restaurants in the Netherlands and appointed him as the head chef. Having grown up in the area, Brevet knew that he needed to serve strictly local ingredients and elevate his level of cuisine to something he had never worked in before. He earned three Michelin stars, and currently, Brevet's restaurant is considered to be the best in the Netherlands.
