Emmanuel Renaut, France

Renaut grew up in the mountains of France. He spent his childhood skiing and foraging in the bountiful wood before he shifted gears and moved to Paris to begin his career in the culinary arts. After touring Europe's finest food cities, Renaut moved back to the mountains of France to source local produce and get back to his roots as a cook. Leaving the city proved to be a fantastic professional move for him because he has been awarded three Michelin stars since then.
