Georgios Evlampios (Akis) Petretzikis (born 4 March 1984) is a Greek celebrity chef. He is the CEO of Akis Petretzikis Ltd, which publishes cooking magazines and books, produces cooking shows, runs restaurants, and has an e-shop with various kitchen products designed by himself.
Born and raised in Thessaloniki, he started working in his family's business at the age of 16 and moved to Athens at 18 to study accounting and finance while also attending culinary school. He worked in the UK for five years before returning to Greece to compete in and win the first season of the Greek version of The Master Chef TV show.[1] He has since hosted multiple cooking shows, including his own web series, Kitchen Lab and Akis’ Kitchen, and has collaborated with Fresh One Productions for Jamie Oliver's Food YouTube channel.[2][3][4]
