This year was full of suspense as THE BEST CHEF changed the way they presented the 100 new annual candidates selected by THE BEST CHEF’s group of independent partners composed of professionals working within the gastronomic world.
Starting on February 25th and during 100 days, THE BEST CHEF announced one candidate per day in no specific order via their social media channels.
One of the founders of THE BEST CHEF, Cristian Gadau states:
“This year we have a very diverse and interesting group of chefs from all over the world. A group that brings together some seasoned heavyweights with a younger generation of talent that will for sure be making noise and bringing change to the fine dining world in years to come.”
“We were looking for a group of chefs that can represent the pres ent and future of gastronomy worldwide, and we think that these new 100 candidates, including several new great talents from the African continent, are a good testament to that. Hard working, talented, passionate,
creative, socially conscious, diverse people that can lead by example and with a lot of knowledge to share.”
On June 6th, THE BEST CHEF begins the voting process, where all the chefs included on last years’ list (plus the previously mentioned group of independent professionals) and the new 100 candidates will be invited to vote for their peers to name 2021’s TOP100 best chefs. The voting for the publicly awarded Fol-LOVERS Award will begin in July and last for a month.

In the capital of the Netherlands, this year’s attendees will get to share knowledge with their international peers and colleagues, and get to experience their great projects while being in one of Europe’s most exciting cities, with remarkable art, architecture, flavours and history.
THE BEST CHEF’s main goal is to promote gastronomy and talent, and Amsterdam is a city full of it. A vibrant and painteresque destination with a rich culture that year by year claims more space on the international culinary map. “We have a great community of chefs in The Netherlands, especially in Amsterdam, as well as a great relationship with them”, says Joanna Slusarczyk, one of the founders.
“This year, apart from the Big Gala, Area Talks and Food Meets Science, we’re planning a bunch of other activities to bring our amazing group of candidates, winners, invited journalists and culinary experts closer to Amsterdam and their culture. The pre-event, a gastronomic bicycle tour of the city that will take the group through different local restaurants and display the best of Dutch cuisine and the work of local chefs, and a big surprise event that will bring chefs and athletes together.”, explains Cristian Gadau.
After successful editions in Warsaw in 2017, Milan in 2018 and Barcelona in 2019, and the Virtual2020 edition that took place during what can without a doubt be named as one the worst years for the hospitality industry, this year’s slogan is: Back to “Live”. Back to Reality.
“Last year didn’t stop us. We actually worked harder to adapt and provide chefs and restaurants all over the world with a platform to stay connected and share information with each other and with the public. Our big hope for this year is for our community to be able to meet in person again”, Joanna Slusarczyk ends.
