Mory Sacko, one of the very prominent candidates during the last season of Top Chef, is rewarded by the Michelin Guide, which unveiled its 2021 list. In his first restaurant Mosuké, whose opening took place in September between the two confinements, the 28-year-old chef combines African, Japanese and French flavors.
"It's really a great adventure, with my team we wanted to show our level from the opening of the restaurant, I have a thought for my wife who is part of the team and who has been on this project from the start », Reacts the chief of Malian origin.
The most famous gastronomic guide is the only one to make his selection for the Covid era "according to the same criteria since always" while his competitors have chosen to cancel their awards (like the British ranking 50 Best), or to readjust to to the pandemic by rewarding the resistant, innovative or solidarity actions of chefs (such as Gault and Millau or La Liste).
The inspectors have worked "hard" and revised their schedule by canceling their summer vacation when restaurants briefly reopened in France between the two confinements.
Reinforcements from neighboring European countries and Asia have also been sent to France, assured Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin guide since 2018. “If the selection is less extensive than in previous years, each restaurant promoted fully deserves it. », He emphasizes.
