Plus largement, 26 autres chefs étoilés français figurent dans le classement. Mais seules 5 femmes y sont représentées, dont la Française Anne-Sophie Pic (47e).

Out of the top 100 classment, only 5 women chefs are represented. ("Chapeau" to these 5 women, btw, for making it in a man's world of professional cuisine)

One thing I really admire about Frenchmen, is that despite the fact that these guys are seriously MACHO, they have ZERO problems putting on the apron and getting to work in the kitchen. I'm talking about the average everyday garden-variety French dude, not just these chefs. It wouldn't even occur to these guys that cooking could be considered un-masculine. They would howl with laughter at this absurd idea, and then make a delicious dinner for the whole family.
