Peter Goossens, Belgium
Goossens has owned the title of "best restaurant in Belgium" for the past 15 years. His restaurant is the legendary Hof Van Cleve, a three Michelin star holding establishment that is almost as legendary as the chef that built it. Goossens worked for everything he has, and it took him several years to get noticed by the Michelin board, but as soon as he was recognized, he became a culinary star.
