RENÉ REDZEPI
COLONEL HARLAND SANDERS
While not the inventor of franchising, colonel Sanders pioneered modern franchising in food with KFC. After a successful launch of his famous fried chicken in the 1930s, he was forced to close at an age when most would consider retiring. He instead set off to travel across the country franchising the concept. Te first KFC franchise opened in Salt Lake City in 1952. Today, there are more than 30,000 KFC restaurants across the world and the Colonel will forever be remembered for his persistence and resilience.
ALICE WATERS
Te chef is recognized as the most influential pioneer of farm-to-table cooking, since opening her now world famous California restaurant Chez Panisse in 1971 and has inspired a generation of cooks. Waters transformed dining by championing organic, locally sourced ingredients long before it became mainstream. A vocal proponent of simplicity in cooking and care for the environment, she is also the author of books such as Te art of simple food and We are what we eat: A slow food manifesto. More recently, through projects such as the Edible Schoolyard Project, she has worked to educate children about healthy, sustainable food.
SIEGFRIED MEISTER
It is true that the German entrepreneur didn’t invent the combi steamer, but after opening Rational AG in 1973 he certainly refined it, making it more practical, programmable and reliable to use in commercial kitchens. Combining steam and convection heat, the concept existed in some form, but had failed to gain traction as early models were difficult to use and unreliable. Since the first efforts of Meister, more than 50 years ago, Rational has been a leader in professional combi steamers – now found in most kitchens – and has been followed by many competitors.
JOSÉ ANDRÉS
Needs little introduction. Te chef from Asturias in Northern Spain emigrated to the US in 1990 and has created an empire of restaurants. Today, he is more famous for World Central Kitchen, an organization that activates local networks of chefs in natural or man-made disasters to help get food on the table for those in need.
