Dominique Crenn is a force to be reckoned with, both in and outside of the kitchen. The French-born television personalty is the co-owner and chef of Atelier Crenn, a San Francisco-based restaurant that received a Michelin star within a year of its opening in January 2011. This modern French eatery ultimately went on to attain three Michelin stars, making Crenn the first female chef in America to receive this coveted award. While most cooks dream of attaining this Michelin status, this was only the beginning of Crenn's culinary ambitions.

For diners who are fortunate to be welcomed to a table at Atelier Crenn, the food served on the plate is only one part of the experience. While the three Michelin star restaurant is an elegant expression of French cuisine, Dominique Crenn adds a special touch to the meal. Although the perfect bite can make some people at a loss for words, a poem can help tell a story.

France and America share a long-lived and unique connection. According to the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in France, Frenchmen fought alongside U.S. soldiers when the American colonies battled for independence from British rule in the 1770s. France even provided economic assistance, ensuring the American War of Independence's successful outcome. France was also one of the first countries to recognize the new nation of America as free and independent from the British crown.

Blending her French heritage and a modern approach, Dominique Crenn is more than a master of French cuisine. Her vision at the three Michelin star Atelier Crenn goes beyond the impeccable food on the table. That dining experience is an invitation to explore the artistry woven into the food. Ahead of her appearance on MasterChef Legends, the celebrated chef discussed what French food means to her, her culinary influences and a French dish that she encourages everyone to master.

Dominique Crenn may have been the person for whom the expression "tour de force" was coined. The chef, who hails from Brittany, France, has her finger in many pies, and only one of them is Atelier Crenn, the San Francisco restaurant that made her the first (and only) woman in the U.S. with three Michelin stars (via Haute Living). After being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2019, Crenn flexed her culinary skills by turning lemons into lemonade — she created VitaBowl, a plant-based meal delivery company, in order to provide her community with the kind of wholesome, nutrient-dense food that she herself was using to stay healthy while her body healed.

Legendary chef Dominique Crenn holds the claim to being the first woman in the United States to ever be awarded three Michelin stars and now she’s looking to another first. This week, Crenn partnered with UPSIDE Foods (formerly known as Memphis Meats) with the aim of becoming the first chef in the country to offer its lab-grown meat (also known as “cultivated meat” and “cell-based meat”) on her menu. In addition to other kinds of meat, UPSIDE Foods creates cultivated chicken using a small amount of animal cells that are grown into real meat outside of the animal in a bioreactor. Under the partnership, Crenn will provide culinary counsel and recipe development for UPSIDE and, following regulatory review, the chef will also serve UPSIDE’s cultivated chicken at her restaurant Atelier Crenn, where she has not served meat since 2018.
