Donald Young AGE: 32 CHEF, OWNER

THE CLASSICAL MAVERICK After earning recognition as one of the youngest American chefs to be awarded a Michelin star and cooking for various beloved Chicago restaurants, Donald Young has left the world of brick-and-mortars for his new bimonthly pop-up and private culinary experience, Duck Sel.
