He worked at three other three-star restaurants before he eventually decided to travel across the pond to New York. There, he worked around at some of the top restaurants before opening his own spot. Over the years, Boulud earned numerous James Beard awards and one Michelin star. Now he owns more than 10 restaurants.

By the time he was 28, he earned three Michelin stars. He was the youngest chef to ever earn that many stars.
