There was a before ‘Top Chef’, there will be an after. There is already one”, he said, proving that he is indeed ready to move forward. “If the past feeds me, it’s the future that excites me”, added Michel Sarran, visibly in a hurry to start new projects. In addition, the chef expressed his gratitude to these fans who had a thought for him when they learned that they would no longer see him on the M6 cooking show.
A program that “changed his life”
“I was very touched by the tens of thousands of messages I received. It is heartwarming. Starting with my colleagues from last season, who all showed me their affection. Without forgetting Stéphane Rotenberg “, said the restaurateur, who also got a few nice words from “people in the street who [l’ont] arrested and [lui ont] provided their support. “” It is very touching “, he said, happy to see that he has marked some people in seven seasons of participation. In addition, Michel Sarran recognizes that Top chef “changed [s]for life” and that he liked a lot “these filming atmospheres”, but for now, that “remains a parenthesis in [s]a professional life “. One thing is certain, if he loved working for television, his real job remains that’s why I wrote to you “to cook”.
