While the new season of Top chef will kick off on Wednesday March 13, 2024, Philippe Etchebest was Léa Salamé’s guest on the show What an era!, Saturday March 9, 2024. For this 2024 edition, the teams are distributed in a new way. Philippe Etchebest will in fact lead a team with Paul Pairet and Glenn Viel, while Hélène Darroze, Stéphanie Le Quellec and Dominique Crenn will lead another competing team. For his part, Pierre Gagnaire will accompany a secret team. A program full of promise in which the chief, who also officiates in Kitchen nightmare, will know how to give voice as usual.
In addition to his broadcasts, the chef also takes care of his restaurant The fourth wall, and multiplies the projects. Enough to inspire Léa Salamé with a question: “When do you sleep, Philippe Etchebest? Because between your restaurants, TV shows, books… Where do you find time to sleep?“Philippe Etchebest was quick to point out that he was not working alone. Since the start of his career, the chef has been able to count on the precious collaboration of his wife, Dominique.”You need to know one thing: I am not alone. I have a wife who has been with me for a very long time now. Without her, ultimately, we would not have done what we did today.“, he explained. Léa Salamé then added: “Do you owe him a lot?” Philippe Etchebest did not hesitate: “Of course”.
