Chef: Pierre Gagnaire

Gagnaire is a well-known French chef, and is the head chef and owner of the eponymous Pierre Gagnaire restaurant. He is an iconoclastic chef at the forefront of the fusion cuisine movement. Beginning his career in St. Etienne, France,  where he won three Michelin Stars, Gagnaire tore at the conventions of classic French cooking by introducing jarring juxtapositions of flavours, tastes, textures, and ingredients. Gagnaire says he wishes to run a restaurant which is 'facing tomorrow but respectful of yesterday' ("tourné vers demain mais soucieux d'hier").
