Do You Know the Greatest Chefs in the World?

Yannick Alleno, France

Alleno grew up cooking in cafes around Paris (literally "grew up," he was cooking in kitchens since he was around seven years old). When he turned 15, he trained under some of the greatest chefs in Paris at the time. He earned his first Michelin star in 1999, and then another in 2002. He then moved to open his own restaurant, earning himself two Michelin stars in the process. In 2003, he was awarded his fifth just three years later. Alleno is one of the most decorated chefs of all time.
