Do You Know the Greatest Chefs in the World?

Joan Roca, Spain

Roca was born into a family of culinary experts, but he refined his craft in a way that completely separated him from his roots. He started cooking at nine years old in Spain, but he moved to France to train under George blue later on. When he returned to Spain at the age of 22, he opened his own restaurant next to his parents. This restaurant did so well that he had to relocate down the block from his family home. In 2013, Roca's restaurant was named the best restaurant in the world, and he was awarded three Michelin stars.
