About Dominique Crenn
Dominique Crenn is the chef and owner of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Atelier Crenn.

The following year, Crenn made history again when Atelier Crenn received its second Michelin Star, becoming the first female chef in the US to receive this honor. In November 2018, Crenn beat her own record and became the first female chef in the US to receive three Michelin Stars.
