Top Chef (2010) : 17x8

Everyone knows it: top chefs love to surprise their guests! Behind every exceptional dish lies a story, an emotion, and sometimes even a genuine surprise. But the surprise doesn’t stop at unexpected combinations. Chefs also seek to evoke a powerful emotion during the tasting: that of a memory resurfacing, a Proustian madeleine that sends shivers down the spine. The contestants are heading to the Jardin d’Acclimatation for a day full of surprises. Surrounded by their loved ones and joined by chef Adrien Cachot, they begin by creating a dish brimming with emotion, in the style of a ‘Proustian madeleine’, before moving on to work with unexpected combinations featuring cauliflower, which they must pair either with chocolate or blueberries.
