EVERYDAY FRENCH

Forget fancy. This is French for everyone. Grounded in the techniques and ingredients of French cooking, but more approachable than fine dining Inventive twists to dishes and drinks are inspired by classic foundational French fare, but with a personalization that adapts French technique and flavour to their own lifestyle and culture, like plant-based French and French-Asian.

• Chef Trong Nguyen, Crawfish and Noodles (Houston, TX)
• Chef Cesar Zapata, Phuc Yea (Miami, FL)
