The organisation behind The World's 50 Best Restaurants and The World's 50 Best
Bars has today unveiled the second edition of 50 Next – a list, but not a
ranking, of young people shaping the future of gastronomy. This year marks the
first-ever live event to celebrate 50 Next, held at the Palacio Euskalduna in
Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. Designed to inspire, empower and connect the
next generation of leaders, 50 Next celebrates people aged 35 and under from
across the wider food and drink scene. The list also considers applicants over
the age of 35 who have recently set out on a new career path.
Building on the first edition of the list revealed in 2021, the second edition
of 50 Next aims to reflect the diversity of the global gastronomic scene. The
Class of 2022 includes a wide range of ground-breaking individuals including:
innovative thinkers Anusha Murthy and Elizabeth Yorke, who are sparking
conversation around Indian food systems; Dinara Kasko, the Ukrainian cake-maker
who started a pastry revolution; Mmabatho Molefe, the chef empowering Black
women and challenging misconceptions of indigenous cuisine, and Lefteris
Arapakis, the fisherman tackling ocean pollution in Greece. Full information
about each person can be found on the 50 Next website here [

William Drew, Director of Content for 50 Best, says: "We are delighted to
announce the 50 Next Class of 2022 at a live ceremony, where we can celebrate
the next generation of gastronomic leaders together and pay tribute to their
incredible achievements."
To celebrate the unveiling of the Class of 2022, as well as to honour the Class
of 2021, a one-day 50 Next event was hosted in partnership with the Biscay
region and Basque Government, which culminated in the announcement of the 2022
list.
