Jacob Jan Boerma, Netherlands

After working at some popular restaurants in the Netherlands, Boerma and his wife decided to open their own place with no former managerial experience.

Over the years he has been granted three stars, but recently he closed his restaurant to work at a spot in Amsterdam.
