Heston Blumenthal, England
Blumenthal started his restaurant journey with no formal training, apprenticeship, or any experience within a Michelin starred kitchen. He let his creativity drive his career, and his artistic, fantastical culinary endeavors paid off when he was awarded three Michelin stars and the best restaurant in the world trophy in 2005. Oh, and he got knighted by the queen that year too!
