the greatest chef of the 21th century was based on Gault Millau guide. Only four people were awarded this prize, according to age:

Paul Bocuse (France)

Frédy Girardet (Switzerland)

Eckart Witzigmann (Austria)

Jol Robuchon (France)

As for the 21th century, although there was no evaluation, it is generally acknowledged that the greatest chef was Spanish chef Ferran Adrià.

When Jol Robuchon retired in p>1996, he was asked who was his successor. Jol Robuchon said Ferran Adrià. At that time, the French newspapers and media criticized, because the best chef in the world was not French, and even if he was not French, he didn't cook.

however, Paul Bocuse also said that the work done by Ferran Adrià is "the most exciting in our business."

and the facts have proved this point, and no one doubts it now.
