Do You Know the Greatest Chefs in the World?

Michel Troigrois, France

Troigrois's father and uncle literally revolutionized the culinary scene in France before he was even born. So, naturally, Michel Troigrois was destined for greatness from the get-go. He has carried the three Michelin star standard at La Maison Trosigros since his uncle passed away in 1983. His restaurant is still active today. 

Yoann Conte, France

Conte grew up in the hotel and restaurant industry since his parents owned both a hotel and a restaurant. When he was just ten years old, Conte was shipped off to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to ski and study pastry. After he learned enough, he took some cooking jobs in Paris, where he earned a Michelin star. Today, he owns three restaurants and helps manage the hotel and restaurant his parents own. He has two Michelin stars to his name.
