A picture taken on July 7, 2016 shows a commis chef preparing a dish in the kitchen of the "Osteria Francescana" restaurant in Modena. Massimo Bottura's obsession with cooking instead has paid off: his restaurant, the Osteria Francescana, may have put the noses of conservative Italian chefs out of joint, but it now boasts the title "best in the world". Set in the heart of Modena in northern Italy, the Osteria already boasted three Michelin stars before it snapped up first prize at the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards in June thanks to a creative cuisine that reinvents Italian traditional dishes. / AFP / GIUSEPPE CACACE (Photo credit should read GIUSEPPE CACACE/AFP via Getty Images)
