French chef Dominique Crenn has become the first woman in the United States to earn three Michelin stars for her modernist San Francisco restaurant Atelier Crenn.

“It’s amazing recognition,” Crenn says. “Amazing for my team and all the work we have done over the years.”

Crenn says she has been celebrating, drinking rosé wine all day, and planning to party further with guests and her team. “Who knew that one day Dominique Crenn would get three Michelin stars with her team,” she says.

Crenn says she hopes her success will inspire young woman to push ahead with their dreams. “I tell them today, ‘You can do anything you want to do,’ it has nothing to do with gender. Go out there and just do it,” she says.

“Never let someone stand in your way.”
