René Redzepi, Denmark
If you've spent a minimal amount of time researching highly acclaimed restaurants, you've definitely run across the name "Noma" before. After all, it's no small feat to run the world's best restaurant three years in a row, and then again one year after the mark was missed. Redzepi set the bar for how chefs should be sourcing their ingredients. The entirety of Noma's menu is sourced within Copenhagen, and virtually all garnishes and special additions to his dishes are foraged. Redzepi is one of the most, if not the most, impressive chef who ever lived, and you should try to visit Noma at some point in your life.
