Responsive, warm and with a good word on his tongue, Hubert Tacquet was the ideal “client” for the show “The best regional cuisine” broadcast from Monday to Friday at 5:30 p.m. on M6 during which two chefs travel through a region of France to taste the kitchen of eight restaurateurs and put them to the test. Hubert Tacquet also got along wonderfully with the two chefs Norbert Tarayre and Yoann Conte. Thursday evening, spectators were able to discover Thiantais behind the screen.
On the day of filming, a company of cameramen, sound recordists, lighting engineers and technicians took over the Le Pot Flamand estaminet, open two years ago in Thiant. Hubert assured in the kitchen as if “ the two media bosses were regular customers “, he explains. The restaurateur won by obtaining four 20/20s in the various tests. On the menu: Bergues sausages and cheese, chicory gratinated with northern mimolette, Flemish carbonade and vegetarian waterzoi.
“I do this job to have fun”
As for dessert, Hubert left the hand to his accomplice Emmanuel Marchal for the preparation of caramelized apples with speculoos flavor… If this menu delighted the taste buds of the chefs, it was also the welcome, the decoration and the atmosphere of the Flemish Pot which made the difference with the other candidates from Normandy and Hauts-de-France. “ I did the cooking that I know how to do and despite this title of which I am proud, I do not consider myself a great chef today, I do this job to have fun », smiles Hubert.
