About Chef Donald Young
Recognized as one of the youngest chefs to be awarded a Michelin star in the U.S., Executive Chef Donald Young (2024 James Beard Award Best Chef Great Lakes Semifinalist) of Duck Sel is earning wide-spread acclaim as one of the most exciting chefs to watch in America. Young began his culinary career at age 17, where he worked under award-winning chef Roland Liccioni at Le Francais, famed Chicagoland French restaurant opened by legendary French-American chef Jean Banchet. While pursuing a degree in culinary arts, Young secured a six-month internship in Castres, France, where he studied under acclaimed chef Simon Scott at Michelin-starred Bistrot Saveurs. Enthralled with French cuisine, Young followed his mentor Liccioni throughout most of his career, ascending through culinary roles at beloved Chicago restaurants Miramar Bistro and Les Nomades.
