momentum in attracting the most brilliant talents from all over the world. I’m proud to be part of this

event with Chef Romain Meder. First in conducting a masterclass together at Top Table and hosting
exclusive dinners at Takahisa. Yet also in meeting with my fellow chefs and the public, sharing our

experiences and thus contributing to the rapidly evolving gastronomy scene in the region.”
