The ceremony in front of an audience of chefs initially planned in Cognac had been canceled (the 2022 launch should however take place there).
The World’s 50 Best canceled its list of awards, as did the List, which instead distributed special prizes highlighting the sector’s reaction to the pandemic. As for Gault & Millau, it has frozen its number of chef’s hats.
