Victoire Gouloubi in top chef, season 20
Victoire Gouloubi is a talented chef. The proof is that she was selected for Top Chef World All-Stars (which premiered on March 9, 2023) despite only being a finalist in Top Chef Italy Season 2. Furthermore, her skills have already led her to be one of the remaining nine contestants on the show along with Buddha Lo, Amar Santana, Sara Bradley, and Ali Ghzawi.
In case you’re catching up, Samuel Albert, Dawn Burrell, Dale MacKay, Luciana Berry, Begoña Rodrigo, and Sylwia Stachyra have already left, in that order.
Well, Victoire’s love of Italian food combined with African cuisine could land her in the Top Chef finale. She believes that food is a daily medicine that can bring health and taste satisfaction. And for this she does not hesitate to use an endless number of ingredients that demonstrate her passion for European and Congolese flavors and traditions.
How much is Victoire Gouloubi net worth?
Victoire Gouloubi has a net worth of less than $1.5 million as of 2023, all thanks to her time as a chef.
But Victoire never dreamed that one day she would cook for a living. In fact, leaving the war-torn country at the age of 20, she traveled to Italy to study law. She then opted for a higher hotel training to earn a living while she continued her studies at the University of Verona. Thus, after 3 years in high-end hospitality, she began working in large Italian kitchens such as the Miramonti Hotel, where she became the first African woman to discover creative high-end Italian cuisine.
In 2014, Victoire opened her first restaurant of the same name and recreated traditional Italian dishes with African touches. Her recipes soon caught the attention of the media, and in 2015 she won the title of ambassador for the We Women’s World Food Exhibition in Italy. In addition, in the same year, the San Pellegrino magazine awarded it the title of mother of world food in Italy.
While running her own restaurant, Victoire has also worked as a chef at Endemol Shine Group, Cranberry Family Hotel, and Italian Kitchen. In 2019, she left Bar Trattoria Victoire and joined Media Production as Head Chef.
