Presentation
One "writes" his dishes, the other wants to "eat" his ideas. Alexandre Gauthier is a chef renowned worldwide for his creativity and unique culinary vision that earned him a second Michelin star in 2017. He talks about the rhythm of flavors, the rise to a crescendo in a dish, the rests between flavors, the palettes of emotions. He loves art, the encounters it facilitates for him, and especially those with trailblazers like Johann Le Guillerm. The chef and the artist are united by the same way of doing things: laboratory research and artistic exploration tinged with a pronounced taste for transgressing established codes. This event is an invitation to a strange rite that will offer an existential experience of what it is to taste concepts with one's stomach as well as one's mind. These two extremities of the human being that are linked by a column that allows them to stand upright.
The kitchen is concocted by the chef, the objects, the forms, and the scenography are from Attraction, the artistic exploration that Johann Le Guillerm has been conducting for 20 years. The nourishing experience is original, totally unusual, magical... It brings into play the whole body imagined as a place of total experience.

Alexandre Gauthier was born to cook. After working in several renowned French restaurants, he took over the family restaurant La Grenouillère, located in La Madelaine-sous-Montreuil on the Côte d'Opale in Pas-de-Calais. He was awarded a Michelin star in 2008 and received a second star in the Michelin guide in 2017. He quickly made his mark on contemporary French cuisine with a personal, savage, delicate, plant-based, and unbridled cuisine. Alexandre Gauthier has been invited to present his cuisine in China, Japan, Singapore, Canada, the United States, and across Europe in a culinary voyage that traversed as many countries as meals were shared.
