For our final Chef in Residence of 2024, chef Alain Verzeroli of The Bastion Collection (Le Jardinier, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon) - and a long-time mentor of chef Mitsu - joined us for the first night of a special Autumn series hosted by the chefs.
Coming off of years of working together, starting with stints at Joël Robuchon restaurants in Tokyo in 2008, followed by opening Shun New York in 2019, the dinner series served as a long-awaited reunion for the celebrated chefs. Chefs Mitsu and Alain have always shared a similar cooking philosophy, honed through their time working together in Japan, specifically focusing on seasonality, honoring the ingredients and respecting the culture of the countries they portray on each plate.
Dinner at l’abeille was followed by evenings at Le Jardinier locations in New York, Miami, and Houston.
