Two weeks before the start of the Bocuse d’Or 2025 Grand Final, British chef Daniel Calvert has just been selected as Honorary President.
After working in restaurants such as Epicure*** in Paris and Per Se*** in New York alongside Thomas Keller, Daniel Calvert opened his own French restaurant in Tokyo, Sézanne***, in 2021. Less than a year after its opening, Sézanne*** was awarded 2 Michelin stars, proving the expertise of its chef, who was awarded with its 3rd star at the end of 2024.
The Honorary President will be responsible for guiding and advising the 24 candidates during the 2 days of competition on 26th and 27th January 2025. The chefs will be competing on the platter theme, with roe deer, foie gras and tea as mandatory products, as well as on the theme on a plate, for which they will have to cook with celeriac, meagre and lobster.
Deux semaines avant la finale du Bocuse d’Or 2025, le chef britannique Daniel Calvert, triplement étoilé à Tokyo, en devient le président d’honneur. Il conseillera les 24 candidats lors des épreuves des 26 et 27 janvier, axées sur un plateau (chevreuil, foie gras, thé) et une assiette (céleri-rave, maigres, homard).
