20 Chefs to Watch in 2024, According to Some of the Biggest Names in the IndustryChefs are by far some of the hardest working people on the planet. They log long, odd hours in hot kitchens to provide delicious food, oftentimes without thanks — and sometimes with nothing but complaints. But here’s the good news: it seems that in the last 15 years, people have been increasingly interested in what chefs do and how they do it. We’re obviously big fans ourselves. They know where to go for good food when they’re not in the kitchen, so who better to ask about the chefs to watch this year than the chefs themselves? We asked some of the biggest names in the industry about the chefs to watch in 2024, and these are the 20 amazing people they chose. We got in touch with the nominees to ask them about their favorite kitchen tools, the best (and worst) restaurant trends right now and their goals for the coming year. If you’re lucky enough to have one of these chefs in your area (or are taking a trip to their city soon), make it a point to try their cooking — we have no doubt it will be delicious. |
