San Francisco (CNN) — When Dominique Crenn was named the world's best female chef by the prestigious World's 50 Best Restaurants List in 2016, she was honored.
She was also outraged.
In her eyes, that extra word -- female -- was unnecessary and irrelevant. Creating a separate category for women only served females even more so than the male-dominated industry had already done.
"They say this is to give females a voice," explains the French-born, San Francisco-based chef, sitting inside her newly minted Bar Crenn, which opened in March. "We have a voice. We're already here. We've been here."
