Do You Know the Greatest Chefs in the World?

Albert Adria, Spain

Adria started cooking under the wing of his older brother when he was just 16 years old. While fumbling around in the kitchen for a few years, Adria fell in love with the pastry and dessert side of things. Over the years, Adria opened and closed restaurants, worked as a consultant, and took frequent breaks to figure out his next move. But, recently, he opened a Michelin starred restaurant with his brother that is doing particularly well. 

Pierre Gagnaire, France

Gagnaire is one of the most decorated chefs of all time. He has spent the entirety of his career cooking in Paris, earning himself 14 Michelin stars along the way. Recently, he has taken a step back from busy dinner service and is focusing on being a consultant for other restaurant owners in London, Las Vegas, Dubai, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong.
