Anne-Sophie Pic

Her grandfather, Andre Pic, was also a chef, who was particularly known for a crayfish gratin dish,[2] and who first gained the restaurant three Michelin stars in 1934.

[2] She worked in Japan and the United States as an intern for various companies, including Cartier and Moët & Chandon,[4] but found herself drawn back to the restaurant for her "passion".

[2] That same year, Pic was the only woman on French newspaper Le Figaro's list of the top twenty richest chefs in France.

[citation needed] In the same year she was profiled in Maya Gallus's documentary film The Heat: A Kitchen (R)evolution.

[16] At the end of 2020, she opened another restaurant called La Dame de Pic - Le 1920 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Megève, France.

[17] In summer 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she launched a food truck in Valence called Pic-up, featuring her first time offering hamburgers.

It was the first time the category had been awarded, and it was thought to have been closely fought between Pic, Elena Arzak and Nadia Santini.
