A few days ago, Stéphanie Le Quellec welcomed the deserved victory of Jorick, who was able to convince the 100 guests who attended the grand final which pitted him against Clotaire Poirier, his friend of the adventure. The chef believed in him from the start and continues to trust him, this time offering him a position in her own restaurants. “Our two worlds, although different, feed off each other, giving rise to a unique culinary understanding. I wanted to maintain and enrich this authentic human encounter“, explained the chef on Instagram. “The real luxury of being a business owner is being able to work with people with whom you have a sincere connection and being able to integrate them into your professional life. I have been thinking about this job creation for many months and after meeting Jorick, offering him to support me within my houses seemed obvious to me.”
