A sharp cutting edge is found with the hottest young talent helming the stoves across America, and this year we bring you five top toques 30 years old and under whom we believe are destined to be tomorrow’s brightest stars. Their avant-garde concepts, culinary passions and technique forged out of long hours honing their craft have brought excitement to our national restaurant scene, from intimate urban boîtes to fine dining rooms.
We've encountered inspired Southern cooking in New York, the sweet side of New Orleans, LA's favorite new maverick, Chicago’s young visionary, and Houston's trailblazer. The fruits of their journeys have left us both satiated and hungry for more; we can hardly wait to see what’s next on their plates.
