LONDON, Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
50 Best today bestows the honour of the Icon Award 2021 upon French chef
Dominique Crenn, who has not only made significant contributions within the
hospitality space but has also used her platform to raise awareness and drive
positive change. In addition to being named The World's Best Female Chef in
2016, Crenn has made history throughout the course of her career while blazing
a trail for future chefs to follow.
The winner of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Icon Award 2021 Dominique Crenn,
co-owner and chef of Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, ranked No.35 on The
World’s 50 Best Restaurants list of 2019.
Dominique Crenn will receive her award at the official ceremony for The World's
50 Best Restaurants, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, to be held in
Antwerp, Flanders, on 5th October.
The French-born, San Francisco-based chef developed a keen interest in cuisine
from her parents before she moved to the US aged 24 and began her formal
training. Crenn opened Atelier Crenn in San Francisco in 2011 and the
restaurant was awarded its first Michelin star within months. In 2012, Crenn
became the first US female chef to oversee a restaurant given two stars. She
then beat her own record in 2018 when Atelier Crenn achieved three-star status.
In 2019, Atelier Crenn ranked No.35 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list.
Since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 (now in remission), Crenn has
spoken openly about her health to raise awareness of the disease. As a
self-identified half-European, half North-African individual, Crenn also
campaigned passionately for Black Lives Matter in 2020 and beyond.
William Drew, Director of Content for The World's 50 Best Restaurants says:
"Dominique Crenn is not just an outstanding chef and restaurateur, she is an
example of someone who speaks truth to power in every aspect of her life –
through her leadership, humanity and endless campaigning for social justice
within as well as outside of the hospitality sphere."
Dominique Crenn says: "It is an incredible honour to be selected as the
recipient of the 50 Best Icon Award this year. For my work to be recognised by
my peers fills me with such pride and appreciation. I hope to use this platform
as an opportunity to give back and to inspire the next generation to be true to
themselves and to always enjoy the journey."
