His second chance in "Top Chef" ended with a last match around citrus.
At the end of episode 12 of season 12, broadcast this Wednesday, April 28 on M 6, Bruno Aubin, eliminated for the first time in episode 5, leaves the competition again, four weeks after his resounding return to the competition.
He confides in what he has learned.
At the end of the show, you confide that you have taken a step forward thanks to "Top Chef" ...
BRUNO AUBIN.
Yes, we must always try to go further in the plate, think that we have a brigade leader behind us, Michel Sarran, Philippe Etchebest, telling us: "go further, go further".
I have to put it into practice now: always go looking for the little thing that we would not have thought of and which brings the dish to another dimension.
Have you gained confidence?
Yes, I am someone who does not like to expose myself too much.
To appear in front of viewers, it had to be done anyway!
Today, I have a lot of people who write to me, who find themselves in me.
I remained myself, I did not try to do too much.
How would you describe your cuisine?
She is greedy, refined.
I'm not trying to hide the products, on the contrary.
I want to highlight them without camouflaging them, without adding things that are useless.
I go to the essentials, with frank tastes.
Was it a tough game, this last chance?
No, the difficult match, it was the test before
(Editor's note: test proposed by Paul Pairet, in which it was a question of imagining an original, gastronomic dish, which shakes up the codes of tasting)
.
I loved being with Arnaud Donckele, but it's an event that didn't speak to me at all.
It was complicated, I was not in it, although I enjoyed sharing it with Chef Donckele.
Then, last chance or not, I stayed in the same perspective: to think of nothing other than what I wanted to do.
Am I missing something?
With ifs, we remake the world.
This is typically the example where, 30 minutes after the test, I said to myself: "I should have done this, I should have done that".
But we only have one hour as a last chance.
Hope it feels like I was quiet and having fun.
Your best memory?
I am someone who likes to live in the moment.
I wanted to make the most of it, without thinking about qualification, elimination, last chance.
I savored every ordeal.
I really liked the one at Les Bras or the black box with Hélène Darroze and Philippe Etchebest and even the one with Arnaud Donckele.
Things you wish you had done differently?
Of course !
It's classic, when the ordeal is over, to say: "I could have done that".
It's easy to remake the game twenty-five times.
Then, here it is.
I went there without restraint.
On the set, everything goes quickly.
At the moment, we don't think about certain things.
Yes, I could have done better.
But for a televised competition, where you have to be good at the present moment, I have no regrets.
How do you taste your dishes?
I am in the process of organizing myself to offer home chef services in Paris.
I'm thinking about a few partnerships that I can't talk about yet.
A restaurant project?
Yes… But when and where, I don't know yet.
I give myself time to think.
Since we don't really know when the restaurants will be able to reopen, it gives me time to concentrate.
I'll open when I'm ready.
