Do You Know the Greatest Chefs in the World?

Jannis Brevet, Netherlands

Brevet worked as a small-time cook until his wife bought one of the most famous restaurants in the Netherlands and appointed him as the head chef. Having grown up in the area, Brevet knew that he needed to serve strictly local ingredients and elevate his level of cuisine to something he had never worked in before. He earned three Michelin stars, and currently, Brevet's restaurant is considered to be the best in the Netherlands.
