Philippe Etchebest, chef of the restaurant "Le Quatrième mur" in Bordeaux calls on his fellow restaurateurs to demonstrate in front of their establishments on Friday at 11:45 am.
The star cook of M 6 asks French restaurateurs to go out with a black armband and make noise for a minute.
A call “not to die in silence”, according to the one who was crowned Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2000.
The chef explains that the idea germinated during a meeting of the UMIH33 with professionals CHRD (Cafés Hotels-Restaurants Discothèques) to support "the restaurateurs of Marseille" and Aix, forced to close for 15 days, and "the cafetiers which close at 10 pm ”, as in Bordeaux.
"We want to avoid mass unemployment in the profession, we are at 150,000 unemployed in the first half of the year and I think we will be at 250,000 by the end of the year," said Philippe Etchebest.
“If we managed our establishments like you manage this crisis, we would no longer exist.
But in the end, it's you who will kill us!
