Grubstreet.com: Elle Says Crenn Stands Out In ‘Frumptopia San Francisco’

Atelier Crenn chef and Iron Chef winner Dominique Crenn is featured in the March issue of Elle, in which they write that she’s “shaking up the Alice Waters simplicity-rules establishment” in San Francisco. This being a fashion magazine, they describe her hair as “rock-and-roll mussed” and her style as “city-girl cool,” and they make a point of saying that Dominique stands out in the albeit small crowd of female chefs. “A hot female chef who wears Rag & Bone and Margiela is an unusual creature, but the fact that she’s to be found in, let’s admit it, frumptopia San Francisco, has a Michelin star on her CV, and is cooking in the male-dominated molecular gastronomy mode of elBulli’s Ferran Adria makes her as rare as a unicorn.” Frumptopia! Ha!
