“I don’t know how you know that”: Jean Imbert very surprised by the chroniclers of C à Vous

He wasn’t expecting it. On January 2, 2021, Jean Imbert lost a person very dear to his heart … his grandmother Nicole Imbert. Talking about her always moves him a lot and he could not contain his emotion on the set of C à Vous this Monday, January 10. “I’m proud to have done the restaurant with her, sometimes there are projects on which we always say to ourselves ‘we do it, we don’t do it’, and sometimes there is something instinctive“, explained the one who is at the head of the kitchens of the Plaza Athénée. To which Pierre Lescure added: “And she sends you stars from the sky from up there. Subsequently, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine said: “You have a letter written by your grandmother, which you keep in your office“. Surprised, the principal concerned affirmed:”Absolutely. I don’t know how you know that … I surely showed it“before evoking a memory that particularly touches him.”It is true that she wrote me a letter when I opened Acajou, I was 22 years old. But there is an incredible note at the entrance of my office where she says to me: I will not be there when you have your stars but I will send them to you from the sky. Here is emotion sequence“, he concluded very upset.

Sad news. The day after his grandmother’s disappearance, Jean Imbert shared a moving message. “Grandma, what sadness today, but also what joy to have lived near you. Since yesterday, I cry like a child and those who know me know that I am not easily consolable “, he had written first before thanking him. “I know that I became a cook thanks to you, no one in the family did this job, but for you Cooking was not a job, but your DNA. And you gave me this passion, the desire to make it my life rather than a job“, he had concluded. Six months later, he announced that he had taken a radical decision. “I decided to stop the restaurant that I opened with my grandma. I am going to do a series of 10 last courses from this Thursday and I will be in the kitchen to pay him a last tribute, in this kitchen where I have been since I was 22 years old “, he wrote on his Instagram account, in the caption of a publication in his company. He had been able to count on the support of his subscribers.
