31. Conclusion
Celebrity Chefs are often looked up to as an idol for many. A Celebrity chef is the one who has
probably worked into star hotels and moved up their way becoming a public figure using their
interpersonal skills through media.
Celebrity chefs have made this skill to add up to their advantage and today most of them
have moved on to becoming entrepreneurs. People prefer going to a celebrity chef associated
restaurant, thus, celebrity chefs often add up to the business of any established hotel.
The Michelin guide is another tool that lifts up a chef to a level that Chef becomes a
Celebrity. Chefs also becomes a celebrity when they receive various other awards and positions of
high rank in esteemed establishments.
This PowerPoint Presentation lists out just 10 Celebrity Chefs out of which 7 were chosen
randomly. The sphere of the celebrity chef is much bigger and a single ppt is inadequate to list all.
Nevertheless, reading about any celebrity chef is always inspiring.
