The flavors of freshly harvested microgreens are concentrated and full of zing, so it’s easy to understand why Michelin-starred chefs want to get their hands on them. French restaurant Le Salon de The de Joël Robuchon was an early adopter of microgreens.
Self-promotion is an integral part of elevating the chef’s status as an accomplished creator of fine cuisine until a chef makes it big and is able to outsource their marketing. Do the most popular chefs relish the attention that accompanies ‘celebrity’ status? Maybe a little, but what artist doesn’t? I’m sure Gordon Ramsay doesn’t have trouble getting a table at the most popular restaurants, no matter what city he might be visiting. So whether your culinary research takes you down the path of Famous Chefs or Celebrity Chefs, we’ve compiled a list of popular and influential chefs and will attempt to shed a little light on their choices and use of microgreens, micro herbs, and edible flowers as essential ingredients in their food art.
