Event Description

Don’t miss this culinary extravaganza! Le Fooding’s big event of the autumn. On September 24th, Grand Fooding S.Pellegrino – Plats De Résistance will gather 10 international chefs who try to change the world through food. The message is an important one: the chefs will go back to basics using top quality ingredients to serve delicious food, perfect for sharing, that celebrates community and peaceful coexistence.

Location: La Générale, an old industrial building reconverted into artists’ workshops will host this event, just before its destruction, planned in 2017.

Running of the event: a self-service approach to encourage encounters and discussions between chefs and people. It will be a big banquet throughout the day, divided into 5 services of 200 guests each (11am-1pm ; 2pm-4pm ; 5pm-7pm ; 8pm-10pm ; 11pm-1am) for a total of 1,200 guests. As for the service, guests will have tickets and help themselves; we also consider the possibility for each table to have a dish to be shared family style.
