Tables & Chefs
Los Angeles, a dizzying melting pot
When the Olympic Games are held here in 2028, they will be the city's third! The sun shines all year round, and the coastal winds from the Pacific keep the climate mild: Los Angeles is a land of milk and honey. From the 1970s onwards, a new generation of chefs preferred local produce and straightforward flavours to heavy, meaty American-style meals. Since then, the foodie, locavore and migrant-fueled scene has been bubbling away, sometimes anarchically, but always with panache.
Craftsmen & Know-How
Thomas Vételé, chef at Hôtel du Couvent & Avit Ghibaudo, market gardener at Ferme Notre-Dame
From the breakfast omelette served in bed to the restaurant's gnocchi au pistou, every dish at Nice's Hôtel du Couvent is the brainchild of chef Thomas Vételé, who works with the produce of market gardener Avit Ghibaudo. Here, in the heart of this 17th-century convent, we meet a duo who combine good taste with sustainability.
