The chef at La Table des Chefs was awarded the title of Grand de Demain at the Gault&Millau Tour Grand Est 2024.

Jean-Paul Acker, gastronomic resident at Relais&Chateau La Cheneaudière, was named Grand de Demain 2024 at the Gault&Millau Tour Grand Est. The event was held this Monday, October 28, 2024 at the Pavillon Joséphine in Strasbourg's Parc de l'Orangerie.

A fabulous course

Jean-Paul Acker, loyal to his Alsace region, became chef of La Cheneaudière in 2021, a Relais&Châteaux where he had already spent seven years. A native of the Munster valley, he began his apprenticeship at Les Clarines d'Argent before climbing the ranks at La Cheneaudière, where he became Roger Bouhassoun's second in command. In 2018, he perfected his skills alongside Jean-André Charial in the South, first at Le Prieuré, then at L'Oustau de Baumanière, a landmark experience for him. On Bouhassoun's retirement, he took charge of the kitchen, blending traditional and modern techniques while favoring local producers. At La Table des Chefs, Jean-Paul Acker pays particular attention to the quality of his sauces, combining authenticity and innovation in his culinary approach. "For me, it's a second course. There's a sauce, broth or emulsion for each of my dishes, whether for starters, appetizers or desserts." A point of honor for the man for whom"a great dish with a great sauce is a winner!"

A title full of promise

"It brings challenge and pushes us to go further! "declared the chef. He was also delighted for his teams, for whom"it's not easy every day, there's a lot of work! Without them, I'm not much!".
