Ángel León, known by his peers as the Chef of the Sea, has made innovative dishes and experimental approaches to fine dining.
His passion for fishing and nature translated into the kitchen, which served as the anchor for his success in bringing his three-Michelin-starred restaurant Aponiente to life in Cádiz, Spain.
Despite his proven success, Ángel is still driven to find new techniques and ask questions about improving, so Aponiente remains at the top of the list of best restaurants in Spain.

Norma Listman aims to create a unique culinary experience by blending Mexican and South Asian flavors for her and her husband's Mexico Restaurant Group, Masala y Maiz.
She has a strong passion for preserving culture, and old values led her to rely on traditional cooking methods. Outside of the kitchen, she is busy with her deep dive into Mexican native corn research and nixtamalization.
Norma and Saqib have earned praise from many industry experts for cooking food with the right punch and exquisite taste. They are also known as activists who use food as their medium.

Saqib Keval, Norma Listman's husband, knows what it takes to run a restaurant easily, with their workers as one of their top priorities.
He says that any decision they make "has to first be done right by the workers, and then it can be done right by the restaurant."
Saqib knows that if workers' voices are at the center of everything they do, everything else (like success) will fall into place.
Aside from their workers-first mentality, Saqib and Norma's business relies on full financial transparency and a collective leadership model.
Chef's Table Season 7 is streaming on Netflix.
