  Today would have been Chef Paul Bocuse’s 99th birthday. This year, chefs and guests gathered at @restaurantdaniel for Le Pot Au-Feu Royal (bravo👏👏 to @danielboulud and his entire kitchen team!) to honor Monsieur Paul’s legacy. As in years past, everyone toasted Monsieur Paul by drinking champagne from a bowl. For those unfamiliar with the tradition, here is the story:Chef Paul Bocuse, protégée of Chef Point, tells a story of his apprenticeship at Chef Point’s three Michelin-starred restaurant, La Pyramide in Vienne, France. It was Chef Bocuse’s responsibility each morning to pour a glass of Champagne for Chef Point. Chef Bocuse, as fun-loving as his mentor, fit naturally into the spirit of the restaurant. One morning after he had poured a glass for Chef Point, Chef Bocuse decided he too should share in the ritual, so when Chef Point turned away for a moment, Chef Bocuse splashed his share into a heavy porcelain salad bowl that sat on a shelf. He repeated the procedure the next morning or two. Then the day came when Chef Point looked around just in time to catch him in the act. Chef Bocuse was ready for a lecture but Chef Point said nothing. The following morning, however, after Chef Bocuse had served Chef Point and dutifully set the bottle back into the ice-filled bucket, Chef Point calmly took it out again, reached up and, without a word, poured some Champagne into a salad bowl. The ritual was repeated daily thereafter. 💛-Excerpted and adapted from “Ma Gastronomie” by Fernand Point, 1974We encourage all to take a moment and raise a glass (or bowl!) to the man whose profound impact has shaped our profession. 🥂 ...
